President Abdulla Yameen’s spokesman denied Tuesday allegations that he has not disclosed assets for the past four years. 
“It is a lie that the president does not submit his financial statements! The president has submitted the financial statements since he became president, and Auditor General has accepted it,” Ibrahim Muaz Ali tweeted.
“After that, Auditor General has amended how financial statements should be submitted, and recently shared a format for financial statement with the president. The president has given assurances that he would submit the financial statements according to the format.”
The tweets came in response to allegations by opposition spokesman Ahmed Mahloof.
