MPs of the ruling Progressive Party of Maldives (PPM) have submitted a no-confidence motion against Prosecutor General (PG) Muhthaz Muhsin.
MPs accused Muhsin of leaking confidential information to lawyers representing suspects arrested in connection to the September 28 blast on the president’s speedboat. Muhsin attempted to unduly benefit suspects facing criminal prosecution, they said.
PPM MPs Abdul Raheem Abdulla, Mohamed Waheed and Jumhooree Party MP Ilham Ahmed submitted the motion to the parliament’s independent institutions committee today asking for an inquiry into the allegations.
The oversight committee accepted the motion with eight votes in favour and formed a sub-committee to investigate the allegations.
