The Fiji Independent Commission Against Corruption (FICAC) has completely reset its strategic direction, discarding its previous plan and launching a new approach aimed at delivering real outcomes, not just activity.
They now have a new Strategic Plan 2025–2030 and Corporate Plan 2025–2026 that was launched yesterday.
“The previous plan had 133 fragmented measures—meetings held, reports produced. That was not good enough. So we scrapped it,” said Acting Commissioner Lavi Rokoika.
She said the newly adopted framework is clear, focused, and measurable, with a strong emphasis on reducing corruption, delivering timely justice, recovering assets, strengthening institutional integrity, and most importantly rebuilding public trust.
“It’s only been 15 weeks since I stepped into this role,” she added.
“But in that short time, I’ve seen how vital this institution is to our country. The people of Fiji expect an institution that truly delivers justice and protects public money.”
The Acting Commissioner emphasised that FICAC must now be proactive, shifting away from a complaint-driven model and towards intelligence-led investigations.
“Corruption today is more complex. It hides in trade, in money flows, in networks that move beyond one country.”
“We must stay ahead of it by using intelligence, information, and international cooperation.”
Acting Attorney-General Siromi Turaga, who welcomed FICAC’s new direction.
“Thank you, Acting Commissioner, for something that is practical, realistic, measurable, and achievable,” Mr Turaga said.
“This government is committed to plans that deliver.”
