Anti-corruption task force

Solomon Islands MPs question anti-corruption taskforce

Known as Taskforce Janus, the initiative is understood to be a joint effort between Police and the Ministry of Finance and Treasury.

Its last high profile investigation led to the arrest of the permanent secretary of the Ministry of Police Edmond Sikua.

Mr Sikua, a former assistant commissioner of the Royal Solomon Islands Police Force, faces seven counts of official corruption for allegedly awarding government tenders worth more than $US80,000 to Beeds Investment, a company registered and owned by his daughters.
