A senior policeman was demoted last week after he alleged corruption over delays in a housing project for police officers, The Maldives Independent understands.
Chief Station Inspector Mohamed Hassan was demoted to the rank of station inspector a month after he lodged a complaint with the Anti Corruption Commission over the Blues Housing Project.
The MVR580million (US$37.6million) joint project by the Housing Development Corporation and the Police Cooperative Society (Polco) was inaugurated days before the 2013 presidential polls and 300 flats were promised to officers. The project was expected to be completed within two years, but local media report that only the foundation has been laid so far.
The down payment for the flats had been deducted from officers’ monthly salaries.
