Watch out

- People pose as EACC officers to con the public. Check at the nearest EACC office or call 0729 888881/2/3 and ask for the Head of Investigations.
- Unhappy with EACC's service? Raise it with the EACC Chairperson, go to court, or approach Parliament's Justice and Legal Affairs Committee.
