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 later today. In a recent interview, Kamikamica confirmed that the report from the Office of the Auditor-General, conducted last month, will first be reviewed by the Cabinet before being introduced in Parliament.
The Deputy Prime Minister also mentioned that depending on the findings of this report, it may be forwarded to the Fiji Independent Commission Against Corruption for further scrutiny. Since its inception in 2015, a substantial investment of $125.6 million has been allocated to the development and implementation of the satellite digital television platform, Walesi.
This statement signifies a crucial step towards transparency and accountability in government initiatives. The ongoing investigation reflects a commitment to ensuring that public funds are used effectively, which can ultimately lead to enhanced services for citizens. As the situation unfolds, it will be interesting to see the implications of the report on future policies and projects within the communications sector in Fiji.
In summary, Kamikamica’s forthcoming statement is an important move towards ensuring fiscal responsibility and may lead to improvements in the broadcasting landscape for the people of Fiji.
