The Fiji Independent Commission Against Corruption has confirmed that the 2006 elections audit report has been handed to the police.
FICAC spokesperson, Maraia Vavaitamana said FICAC is not conducting any investigations in relation to the alleged discrepancies in the 2006 polls as it requires a lot of manpower and resources.
Former Supervisor of Elections, Semesa Karavaki has raised the question on where is the evidence in relation to the electoral fraud and vote rigging in the 2006 elections as claimed by the interim government last year.
Karavaki said a lot was said last year and many claims were made about vote rigging, the usage of extra ballot papers and corrupt and biased officials.
However Karavaki said everyone has gone quiet now. He maintains that all these allegations are baseless as even the observers from the Commonwealth, the UN and the EU gave the all clear that the 2006 election was free and fair.
Under the interim government, an internal audit report prepared by the Finance Ministry was released last year highlighting a number of alleged discrepancies in the 2006 elections. It was then referred to the police and FICAC.
