FICAC received 53 complaints last month where 14 are now being investigated by their Legal and Prosecution Department.

FICAC says following the assessment, 38 complaints were classified as non-corruption related and were referred to the appropriate authorities for further action.

They say a complaint is still under legal assessment. FICAC says they initiated legal proceedings in four cases involving five individuals, comprising of four males and one female.

The charges include 2 counts of general dishonesty – causing a loss, a count of falsely pretending to be an officer, a count of obtaining a financial advantage by deception, a count of obtaining a financial advantage, a count of breach of bail, a count of using forged documents, a count of abuse of office for gain and a count of aiding and abetting abuse of office.

They say during the reporting period, no cases were withdrawn from the courts.

FICAC says they remain committed to addressing complaints efficiently as well as investigating cases within an allocated timeframe and progressing them through the Courts, while also focusing on providing education and prevention training across all sectors of society.

They say as Fiji’s mandated anti-corruption agency, FICAC implores members of the public and all stakeholders to engage proactively in combating corruption by swiftly reporting any suspected allegations of corruption and bribery to the Commission.

The Commission says preventing and combating corruption requires a comprehensive approach, but only in an environment of transparency, accountability and integrity.

FICAC says collaboration, innovation and incentive systems that facilitate cross-sectoral initiatives and shared accountability across different ministries, agencies, levels of government and non-governmental stakeholders are all required.

FICAC encourages all members of the public to report any corruption-related complaints by calling our toll-free number 1322.
