FICAC meaning in Governmental ?

The Fiji Independent Commission Against Corruption (FICAC) is the country's mandated law enforcement agency to investigate and prosecute public sector corruption, as well as educate society on understanding and reporting corruption.

It was established by the FICAC Act No 11 of 2007, and began operations in April of the same year.

The Constitution of the Republic of Fiji stipulates that the Commission may investigate, institute and conduct criminal proceedings, take over investigations and criminal proceedings that fall under its responsibility and functions as prescribed by law, and which may have been initiated by another person or authority and discontinue, at any stage before judgment is delivered, criminal proceedings instituted or conducted by it.

FICAC is headed by a Deputy Commissioner, who is appointed by the President of Fiji. The current Deputy Commissioner is Mr Rashmi Aslam after the retirement of Mr George Langman. Mr Aslam served as the Acting Deputy Commissioner from April 2019 until his official appointment as the Deputy Commissioner in May 2020.
