FICAC Closes Case Against Former Attorney-General: What’s Next?

The Fiji Independent Commission Against Corruption has decided not to pursue charges against former Attorney-General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum regarding allegations of violating Section 24 (5) of the Political Parties (Registration, Conduction, Funding, and Disclosures) Act 2013. Investigations indicated insufficient evidence to support claims of such a breach. FICAC communicated its intention to close the case to the Fijian Elections Office on July 24, 2024. Additionally, FICAC suggested revisions and improvements to the elections office to prevent similar issues in the future and enhance clarity and support during investigative processes.
