Stats bureau dropped survey results showing citizens are way more confident about courts and prosecutors compared to seven years back, with trust jumping from somewhere in the 60s up past 80 percent for most legal institutions.

Legal aid groups are calling cap on the whole thing because corruption and case backlogs are still wrecking access to justice for regular people.

Confidence in mayors and local chairpeople dropped a few points while general trust in public service also slid down during the same period.
