The Walesi PTE Limited report remains under investigation by the Fiji Independent Commission against Corruption.
Minister for Communication Manoa Kamikamica said the report, submitted last December, was important because it followed a Special Audit Report from the Auditor General.
The audit revealed that the previous government spent $123.6 million on the Digital Terrestrial Television Project and the operations of Walesi between 2015 and 2022.
Kamikamica emphasised the importance of accountability given the large sum of public funds involved.
“For the sake of the people of Fiji, $120 million got wasted in that exercise. I hope, for the sake of the people of Fiji, that there is some prosecution. Of course, it’s with FICAC and they will investigate. Actually from what I saw, there were definitely some issues but you know I can’t speak more than that as it’s with the investigators and they will conduct due process.”
The Walesi project, meant to improve Fiji’s digital broadcasting, is under increased scrutiny, and the public was now waiting for FICAC’s findings.
