The Fiji Independent Commission Against Corruption (FICAC) has addressed recent concerns regarding a break-in at their headquarters that occurred two months ago. In a statement released to the media, FICAC confirmed that while an unauthorized entry took place, no investigation files were stolen.
The timing of this statement aligns with growing rumors circulating on social media, which falsely claimed that sensitive investigation materials had been compromised. FICAC quickly acted upon discovering the break-in, launching an investigation that included a review of CCTV footage. Their findings confirmed that all materials, including files related to Deputy Prime Minister Professor Biman Prasad and other Ministers, remained secure and intact.
FICAC reassured the public about the integrity of their operations, emphasizing that all investigation materials are carefully managed by Registry Officers. They also urged citizens to refrain from spreading false information or making defamatory statements online, highlighting that such actions can lead to criminal consequences.
This situation underscores the importance of reliable information and the responsibility of individuals and organizations in maintaining the integrity of public discourse. FICAC’s proactive approach in addressing the break-in and misinformation showcases their commitment to transparency and accountability in combating corruption.
In a hopeful note, this incident may serve as a reminder for the public to be vigilant about the information they consume and share, reinforcing the importance of supporting institutions that strive towards integrity and truth.
