IT is important that civil society groups demand for the Auditor-General's report, says University of the South Pacific academic Professor Wadan Narsey.
Speaking at the Transparency International Anti-Corruption day seminar yesterday, he focused on three areas "Transparency International would find quite pertinent in terms of the need for greater transparency and accountability".
These were the use of taxpayers' funds, corporate responsibility for good governance and the USP's accountability to the tax-payers of the region.
The issues included the regularising of military overspending, corporate interests and military, and governance of USP and good governance advisers
Professor Narsey said the country's reluctance to establish the truth was legendary, by now a national plague and a never-ending curse.
"We never had an inquiry into the National Bank of Fiji disaster which cost the country $200millions then; nor into the Commodity Development Fund scam; nor the recent Agricultural Scam, for which a few scapegoats are paying the price," he said.
