The Fiji Independent Commission Against Corruption (FICAC) has reported that there was a break-in at its headquarters two months ago. However, FICAC has confirmed that no official files were stolen during the incident. This includes important investigation files linked to Deputy Prime Minister Professor Biman Prasad and seven other Ministers, assuring the public that all sensitive materials are safely managed and stored by its Registry Officers.
In its statement, FICAC also cautioned the public against spreading false information or defamatory comments on social media, emphasizing that such actions could lead to criminal offenses.
This incident highlights the importance of transparency and security within government institutions. FICAC’s proactive communication regarding the break-in should provide some reassurance to the public that critical investigation materials are protected. Furthermore, it serves as a reminder of the responsibility each individual has in maintaining accuracy in public discourse, particularly in an age where misinformation can spread rapidly.
The commitment to safe management of sensitive information reflects a positive step toward ensuring trust in public institutions. Such diligence may help strengthen public confidence in FICAC’s ability to operate effectively in its mission to combat corruption.
