The Fiji Independent Commission Against Corruption (FICAC) has addressed recent concerns regarding a break-in that occurred two months ago at its file room. In a media statement, FICAC confirmed that while there was a break-in at their Headquarters, no items or investigation files were stolen from the premises.

FICAC clarified that the claims circulating on social media about missing files are unfounded. Following the incident, the commission promptly began an investigation, including a review of CCTV footage to gather more information.

Importantly, FICAC assured the public that all investigation materials, including those related to prominent public figures such as Deputy Prime Minister Professor Biman Prasad and other Ministers, remain secure and intact. The commission emphasized the importance of accurate information and cautioned the public against making misleading statements or sharing defamatory content online, highlighting that such actions can lead to legal repercussions.

This incident underscores the commitment of FICAC to maintaining transparency and accountability in their operations, reassuring the public of their rigorous security measures.

In a broader context, this situation serves as a reminder of the significance of responsible communication, particularly in social media, where misinformation can spread rapidly. By upholding the truth, we can foster a more informed and engaged community.

In summary, while the break-in raised concerns, FICAC’s prompt action and clear communication reinforce confidence in their ability to protect sensitive information.
