This government is engaging in acts of corruption as if it were a joke: Ihusan

Former Deputy Minister Mohamed Ihusan has stated that President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu’s administration is engaging in acts of corruption as if it were a lighthearted matter of amusement.

Speaking on RaajjeTV’s "Fala Surukhee" program, Ihusan stated that the current administration's corruption has reached unprecedented levels. He noted that while fuel prices were hiked citing the conflict in the Middle East, this move actually resulted in increased profits for the State Trading Organization (STO).

He questioned whether the government felt no shame in announcing such a development. Ihusan stated that a review of the situation reveals that the fuel price hike at the time was not actually necessary. Consequently, he strongly criticized the government for acting in such a manner during that period.

Furthermore, Ihusan stated that the public is well aware of why corruption cases are not being investigated. He asserted that this is due to a lack of sincerity from the government, suggesting that authorities fail to oversee such matters because they are actively encouraging them.

Ihusan noted that President Muizzu has stated that special measures will be taken against any corruption carried out through HDC in Hulhumale' during this administration.

"But where are they now? They are free and actively supporting the government. Where are those who were present when the fires were set? To this day, they refuse to even acknowledge that those events took place," he said.

Ihusan has raised serious questions regarding the corruption practices within the current administration. He further alleged that the government has failed to take the necessary measures to curb such activities. Ihusan also expressed concern over the fact that individuals previously implicated in corruption scandals now hold positions within the government.
