The Independent Commission against Corruption today has shed light on recent media publications stating that ICAC is actively investigating or reviewing immigration cases being passed on for investigation.
In a statement released today, Deputy Commissioner Daniel Baulch strongly reiterated that the ICAC, an independent body by law, determines what matters to look into and is not obliged to release information to the public regarding matters under investigation.
“The ICAC determines which matters it will investigate or not.”
“As a general rule we will not be commenting on complaints or matter that we are investigating.”
While the Agency welcomes complaints of corruption or corrupt conduct of public officials from public bodies but will not be commenting on complaint or matters referred to the agency for investigations.
In his statement, the Deputy Commissioner advised that the ICAC met last week with senior members of the RPNGC with regard to collaboration on investigations, to which he stated were very productive in developing a mutual relationship for both agencies to combat corruption.
