FICAC’s Manager Corruption Prevention, Kolora Celua says Investment Fiji has a critical role to play in engaging with foreign investors and exporters, and in doing so, must maintain its integrity as an independent and a transparent investment promotion agency.
Celua stated this at the launch of the the Anti-Bribery Campaign with Investment Fiji.
The Acting Chief Executive Officer of Investment Fiji Kamal Chetty says bribery and corruption have always been an obstacle to economic growth and their detrimental and direct effect often lead to a decrease in the productivity level.
Chetty says widespread corruption deters investment, weakens economic growth, and undermines the rule of law.
He says this is an opportune time to train their employees on anti-bribery measures in order to protect the organization from any corruption-related risks.
Investment Fiji has become the latest public statutory organisation to join the “I don’t accept bribes’ campaign, a joint nationwide initiative by FICAC with the UN Development Programme funded by the New Zealand Government.
