Two months ago, the Fiji Independent Commission Against Corruption (FICAC) experienced a break-in at its file room. However, FICAC has confirmed that despite the incident, no items were removed from the premises.
In a recent statement addressed to the media, FICAC responded to social media claims suggesting that investigation files had been stolen. The organization asserted that these allegations are unfounded.
“Upon discovering the break-in, FICAC immediately launched an investigation, which included reviewing CCTV footage,” the statement read. FICAC clarified that all investigation files, including those linked to Deputy Prime Minister Professor Biman Prasad and seven other Ministers, remained untouched during the break-in.
FICAC reassured the public that all files and evidence are securely maintained by their Registry Officers. Furthermore, FICAC urged the community to refrain from making misleading public statements or posting defamatory content online, as such actions could lead to criminal charges.
This incident highlights the importance of transparency and accountability in governance. By addressing public concerns promptly and assuring the security of sensitive information, FICAC demonstrates its commitment to upholding integrity within its operations. Encouraging factual discourse is essential for fostering trust within the community.
