Former President of the Anti-Corruption-Commission (ACC) Ali Rasheed Umar,who was proposed by President Mohamed Nasheed as the new Auditor General following a vote of no-confidence in Ibrahim Naeem, has been refused by parliament’s finance committee.
Opposition Dhivehi Rayyithunge Party (DRP) MP Ahmed Nihan said Umar was failed “due to integrity issues.”
“Some questions were raised at the committee regarding issues of integrity,” said Nihan. “There were some claims made against him when he was the President of ACC, and some other issues.’’
Former Auditor General Ahmed Naeem was dismissed by a no-confidence motion in parliament.
