MDP Refutes Home Minister’s Claims of Missing Millions in Police Stations Project

The Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) refuted Homeland Security Minister Ali Ihusaan's claims that US$3.6 million allocated for police stations in 61 islands, part of a US$41 million project with India's Indira Project Joint Venture Company, had disappeared. Ihusaan said the advance payment was in jeopardy after India's Exim Bank retracted its loan offer. Former Finance Minister Ibrahim Ameer denied the allegations, stating the joint venture company exists and its partners—Ashoka Buildcon Ltd. and Indira Projects and Developments Pvt. Ltd.—have accessible websites. Ameer accused Ihusaan of misinformation. MDP spokesperson Ahmed Easa noted that company representatives were in the Maldives before Ihusaan's press conference and had met with government officials earlier. Ihusaan later confirmed the company received the US$3.6 million and that he met with them after the press conference.
