The Fiji Independent Commission Against Corruption (FICAC) has reported that its headquarters experienced a break-in two months ago, but assured the public that no files were stolen during the incident. Importantly, none of the investigation files, including those pertaining to Deputy Prime Minister Professor Biman Prasad and seven other Ministers, were compromised.
FICAC emphasized that all materials and exhibits related to ongoing investigations are securely stored and meticulously managed by its Registry Officers. The commission issued a reminder to the public, urging caution against spreading misinformation or defamatory statements on social media, as such actions could result in criminal charges.
This incident highlights the importance of vigilance and security in safeguarding sensitive information within public institutions. FICAC’s transparency in addressing the break-in reinforces its commitment to accountability and integrity in the face of potential challenges.
In a broader context, this serves as a reminder of the critical role that public agencies play in fostering trust and upholding the rule of law, ultimately contributing to good governance in Fiji.
