The increase in government fraud has heightened citizens' and stakeholders' demand for culpability in public resources management, especially in emerging economies. The problem addressed by this study is widespread fraud in developing countries' public sector, particularly the Republic of Zambia. The purpose of this study was to explore the impact and implications of sustained fraud in developing countries' public sector. Government fraud is harmful; it increases deficits, reduces government spending on critical public goods and services, and erodes citizens' confidence in a critical institution that holds society together. The fraud triangle was the guiding conceptual framework since it provides a better understanding of motivations for fraud. Thirty-five Ministry of Finance professionals based in Lusaka, Zambia, participated in skype, semi-structured interviews to reveal their lived experience with sustained fraud and their perceptions of strategies to mitigate fraud. The data collection process also included establishing methodological triangulation by reviewing the Republic of Zambia Auditor General's report to the nation on public accounts and the Transparency (TI) Corruption perception index. Yin's 5-step process was employed to code, analyze, and identify emergent themes. Data analysis's primary emergent themes were political commitment and bureaucrat's dedication to an ethical public sector control environment; others were a robust code of ethics, punishment for misconduct, and data analytics. The study participants suggested that the implementation of these strategies might reduce sustained fraud in the public sector. Widespread fraud in developing countries' public sector is one of the least researched fields and an emerging body of knowledge. This study's findings contribute to the least explored area of widespread fraud in developing countries' public sectors and provide critical insight for public sector administrators to comprehend motivations for fraud and strategies to reduce widespread fraud.
