Former President Abdulla Yameen Abdul Gayoom alleged that President Mohamed Muizzu is retaining Anti-Corruption Commission president Adam Shamil so that the ACC will not investigate corruption cases involving the current government. Speaking at a People's National Front gathering, Yameen also criticised successive governments for failing to recover state funds lost to corruption and said Shamil should resign.
One outlet so far Only Maldives Republic has reported this among the sources we monitor. A gap in what we monitor, not proof that others did not report it.
Speaking at a gathering at the People’s National Front (PNF) office on Thursday night, Yameen claimed Muizzu was confident the ACC would not pursue any cases against his administration because Shameel had also failed to investigate cases against previous government.
Word for word from the report in Maldives Republic. Open the report
Muizzu has a guarantee that [Shamil] will not investigate any case in his five years. That is why he is keeping him.
None of the previous governments have made any effort to recover any money lost from the state budget
Now he has to, you know, he has to tell ‘I couldn’t do this’ and resign himself and go home. But he won’t let him go. Muizzu will tell him to stay.
their words and actions do not match.
Nothing to compare yet. If another monitored source reports it, its headline appears beside this one.
