The anti-graft watchdog has thrown out a corruption complaint against the ruling party over the use of state resources for a rally celebrating President Abdulla Yameen’s third year in office.
The complaint claimed the Progressive Party of the Maldives had used public money for and forced civil servants and employees of state-owned enterprises to attend the ‘Habeys 3’ rally on November 28.
The Anti Corruption Commission, however, declared legal expenses from the state budget and the forced attendance stating that the rally was organised by the government and not the ruling party.
The complaint was lodged by the main opposition Maldivian Democratic Party.
