Auditor General, ACC Chair dismiss Attorney General’s delay allegations over GMR issue
06 Nov 2012, 10:18 AM
Auditor General Niyaz Ibrahim and Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) Chair Hassan Luthfy have dismissed claims by Attorney General Azima Shukoor last week that the government was awaiting completion of investigations by the independent institutions before making a decision on annulling the concession agreement with Indian infrastructure giant GMR, to develop and operate the Ibrahim Nasir International Airport (INIA).
“I would like to point out that the Anti-Corruption Commission still hasn’t finished the complete investigation into the GMR matter. This also presents difficulties for us,” Azima said at a press conference last week.
“I have met with the heads of ACC and Auditor General two, three times. I can’t say anything about the investigations. But I haven’t heard back anything after I shared the information I had available with them.”
However, ACC Chair Hassan Luthfy told newspaper Haveeru yesterday that he did not believe that the government was awaiting the completion of the ACC investigation to take action.
