High profile lawyer Maumoon Hameed has been shortlisted in the government’s flagship ‘Get Set’ youth entrepreneurship loan scheme despite never having submitted an application.
In a tweet yesterday, Maumoon Hameed, who is also President Abdulla Yameen’s nephew, said the economic development ministry had emailed him saying he had been shortlisted. “Bad news: I didn’t submit a proposal,” he tweeted.
Speaking to Maldives Independent today, Hameed said the email had been addressed to “Dear applicant,” and said that he would be contacted shortly for an interview.
