The number of complaints against public bodies climbed steeply in the last third of the year. The average number of complaints was 610 per month through August, but jumped to 734 in the last four months.
Arutz-7's Ruti Avraham reports that complaints against the National Insurance Institute topped the list, with 692, followed by 471 against the police and 301 against the Finance Ministry. Other offices that received over 200 complaints included the Interior, Justice, and Education Ministries.
State Comptroller Micha Lindenstrauss noted in his report that the various ministries submitted detailed accounts as to how they would deal with the issues about which the public complained.
Eight complaints were submitted by Knesset Members, including six by former MK Sha'ul Yahalom (NRP). An MK may file a complain about an injustice committed towards another citizen, while a regular citizen may complain only about something that affects him directly.
The number of complaints filed to the Public Commission rose by 11.6% in 2004, and by another 14.4% in 2005.
