The National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) currently only holds public hearings in 'exceptional circumstances,' a high legal bar that has led to almost all investigations being conducted in secret. Critics argue this secrecy mirrors the protection racket politicians created for themselves, preventing voters from seeing justice done. Defenders argue that public hearings in state bodies have unfairly destroyed the careers of innocent people who were later cleared of wrongdoing. Proponents support accountability; opponents support due process privacy.
