FICAC has confirmed that they have not received anything on the matter where the Auditor General has recommended an investigation be carried out to find out whether there was a conflict of interest when the Rakiraki Market construction contract was awarded to the company that gave over $100,000 to the Rakiraki Town Council to pay off its debts.

The company was awarded a $5.2 million Rakiraki Market construction contract.

Meanwhile, Minister for Local Government Premila Kumar says they are conducting their own investigations into the matter.

Kumar has refused to make any other comments on the issue.

She says it will be premature for her to comment on the subject as it is expected to be debated in parliament.
