The Fiji Independent Commission Against Corruption (FICAC) recently addressed claims about a break-in at its headquarters that occurred two months ago. According to FICAC, there were no files or materials stolen during the incident, contrary to social media allegations suggesting otherwise.
In a media statement, FICAC clarified the situation, emphasizing that upon discovering the break-in, they promptly initiated an investigation, including a review of CCTV footage. Fortunately, the commission confirmed that all investigation files, including those linked to Deputy Prime Minister Professor Biman Prasad and several other ministers, remained secure.
FICAC reassured the public that all investigation-related materials are carefully managed and securely stored by their Registry Officers. They also urged the community to be cautious about spreading misinformation or making unfounded statements on social media, warning that such actions could result in legal repercussions.
This incident highlights the importance of securing sensitive information and reinforces FICAC’s commitment to transparency and accountability. With their prompt action and dedication to safeguarding vital documents, FICAC has demonstrated that they take their responsibilities seriously, ensuring public trust in their operations.
In summary, while the break-in raised concerns, it ultimately reaffirmed FICAC’s integrity and the security of their investigation files, fostering hope that such challenges can be effectively managed in the future.
