Millions were spent unlawfully by the Maldives’ prisons authority or accumulated as a loss, an audit has revealed.
The report, signed by Auditor General Hassan Ziyath, said a lot of work at Maldives Correctional Service breached public finance rules.
“No announcements or competitive bids were held before handing over projects,” said the audit published Sunday.
The Prison Cooperative Society (PRISCO) spent MVR 5.88 million (US$3.78 million) unlawfully on goods and services, including staff uniforms, installation of camera systems and a water plant project.
