In a decisive press conference at the President’s Office, President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu firmly denied allegations of misconduct during his tenure as Housing Minister, asserting his unwavering commitment to integrity.
Addressing recent claims of impropriety, President Muizzu emphasized the absence of credible evidence, stating that with hundreds of employees under his leadership, any wrongdoing would have surfaced through proper channels.
“I categorically state that I have never engaged in illegal activities, nor have I misused my influence,” President Muizzu declared. He welcomed investigations by independent bodies like the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC), underscoring his confidence in the nation’s institutional frameworks.
Demonstrating his commitment to transparency, President Muizzu has recently appointed new members to the ACC, including Vice President Abdulla Nashid, to bolster the commission’s effectiveness.
The President’s proactive stance against corruption is further evidenced by his swift action in the ‘Binveriya’ housing scheme controversy, where he directed a criminal investigation into alleged irregularities.
President Muizzu’s resolute declarations and actions reflect his dedication to upholding the highest standards of governance, reinforcing public trust in his leadership.
