The owner of Celcius Fire Protection and Pest Control, Anita Ranjini Mala who is charged with two counts of bribery has changed her plea to guilty and her trial has been vacated.

FICAC charged Mala in 2017 and she had initially denied the charges.

Mala is alleged to have offered $500 and $800 to two Technical Officers of the Ministry of Employment, Productivity and Industrial Relations on two separate occasions between 2016 and 2017 to influence their actions as public servants.  

The case will be called again this Thursday.
