Abstract

This research examines, analyses, and explains—from a citizen’s perspective—public-sector corruption in order to determine whether public opinion and belief concerning it in the case of Mauritius matters in assessing political trust. The findings confirm the existence of a strong and significant inverse relationship between citizens’ perception of corruption and political trust, suggesting that corruption viewed through the citizens’ lens erodes trust in government. Mediation tests further confirm that improvement of service delivery is a better strategy to mitigate citizens’ perceived extent of public-sector corruption and ultimately repair the deficit of political trust than placing reliance on anti-corruption agencies.
