The Leader of Opposition Hon. Matthew Wale has called on the RSIPF to urgently provide an update on the status of the criminal investigations into the ESP report.
Hon. Wale noted that since the release of the report, the public has been left in the dark regarding the progress of investigations, as the RSIPF has only issued one press release.
“Where are we now? Has the investigation started? It is critical for public to be kept up to date as to what is currently being pursued, and what remains to be investigated,” Hon. Wale said.
Wale emphasized that the ESP report contains one of the largest corruption cases uncovered in the Country’s history, with significant implications for public trust and governance.
“We cannot allow this matter to be sidelined or forgotten. It is a matter of national integrity, and the people need assurance that those implicated will be held to account,” Hon. Wale stressed.
Hon. Wale urged the RSIPF to expedite the investigations with all necessary technical support and resources, ensuring that no potential leads are ignored.
“The rule of law must prevail, and justice must not be delayed. We must set a clear example that corruption will not be tolerated, irrespective of one’s position,” Wale emphasized.
The Opposition Leader reiterated his call for public engagement, emphasizing that the people have a crucial role to play in keeping the issue alive and ensuring accountability.
“Our nation and its people cannot afford to let such a serious misappropriation of public funds slip through the cracks. Justice must be seen to be done, and it must be done in full view of the public.” Hon. Wale stated.
“Corruption must be met with zero tolerance. Complacency has no place in this fight” Wale concluded.
