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

The MDP denied claims by Homeland Security Minister Ali Ihusaan that US$3.6 million paid for a police station construction project across 61 islands had gone missing, with former Finance Minister Ibrahim Ameer calling the allegations false or based on misinformation. Ihusaan later said company representatives confirmed the US$3.6 million was received by them and remains in their accounts, and that the company agreed to develop police stations worth that amount.
