FICAC is currently investigating eight Opposition MPs and one Government MP who allegedly breached eligibility requirements for travel and accommodation allowances.
The Commission confirms that the complaint was received last month from the Secretary-General of Parliament regarding the alleged breach of the Parliamentary Remuneration Act of 2014.
FICAC states that the nature of the complaint alleges that these MPs claimed travel and accommodation allowances they were not entitled to.
They also say that once all the relevant evidence is collated and analysed, a decision will be made and necessary action taken, should it be required.
In response to questions by Fijivillage, the Secretary-General to Parliament Viniana Namosimalua has earlier stated that the role of the Secretary-General is to ensure the efficient, effective and economical management of Parliament.
She says in undertaking this role it is prudent that they ensure the relevant Acts and guidelines guiding the works of Parliament are followed by all its stakeholders.
Namosimalua further said as the matter is with FICAC, her office will make no further comment on the matter.
