UIF to cooperate with law enforcement agencies on investigation into alleged corruptions related to labour activation programme
The Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) has noted articles published in the Sunday World newspaper of Sunday November 19, 2023.
In the news articles the Sunday World newspaper refers to a Hawks and Special Investigating Unit (SIU) investigation into allegations of corruption related to its Labour Activation Programme (LAP).
The UIF has not yet received official correspondence from the law enforcement agencies pertaining to the said investigation but will cooperate fully if requested to do so.
As an organisation that respects the rule of law, and who observes good governance principles and practices, the Fund will provide necessary assistance to the law enforcement agencies in the course of their investigation.
We will await the outcome of the said investigation before commenting further on this matter. To this end we request space and time to aid the law enforcement agencies in their work.
Anyone with information that can assist the investigation process is encouraged to contact the relevant law enforcement agencies directly.
