Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Communications Manoa Kamikamica is set to present his Ministerial Statement regarding the technical and financial investigation of Walesi PTE Limited in Parliament today.
In a conversation with FijiLive, Kamikamica noted that the report, conducted by the Office of the Auditor-General, will first be reviewed by Cabinet before being presented to Parliament. This report, which was made public last month, is a significant step in understanding the financial performance and operational effectiveness of the satellite digital television platform, Walesi.
Kamikamica mentioned that since 2015, a total of $125.6 million has been invested in the establishment and rollout of Walesi’s services. Depending on the findings of the investigation, the report may also be forwarded to the Fiji Independent Commission Against Corruption for further examination.
This investigation and subsequent presentation in Parliament represents a commitment to transparency and accountability in government operations, potentially leading to improvements in public service management and governance. Stay tuned for insights from the report as they unfold.
In summary, the upcoming statement by Kamikamica highlights the government’s initiative to scrutinize significant investments in digital television infrastructure and to consider further actions based on the findings, which signals a proactive approach towards public accountability and continued improvement of services.
