Elections Commissioner Fuad Thaufeeq has expressed concern today that current Elections Commission (EC) staff could be held responsible for the potential misdeeds of employees no longer working for the body.
The claims were made after the Financial Committee yesterday discussed taking action against the EC after Auditor General Niyaz Ibrahim raised concern over an apparent failure to document Rf15 million of spending by the body.
Niyaz said that the Financial Committee debate concerned an audit report from 2010. However, he claimed that particular concerns were raised during the discussions over a portion of Rf54 million that was spent over a three year period.
When asked about the precise period of time under scrutiny, Niyaz stated that more time was needed to acquire these exact details.
