Several prominent political figures have made public statements regarding corruption investigations and Government accountability in the Maldives.

Speaking about the Binveriya and Gedhoruveriya schemes, Former President Mohamed Nasheed commented on the land allocation issue, indicating that the previous administration compiled the land registry for the Binveriyaa program in an inequitable manner. Nasheed noted that investigations have begun and expressed hope for a proper investigation by the Maldives Police Service. He further expressed confidence that the newly appointed Managing Director of HDC, Mauroof Jameel, would implement necessary reforms promptly.

Former Deputy Speaker and Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) Parliamentary Group Leader Moosa Manik (Reeko) remarked that President Dr Mohamed Muizzu appears to be monitoring those who misappropriate Government property and funds – he questioned whether certain individuals would have resigned and fled if previous leaders had been sincere about addressing long-standing corruption and misconduct.

In his extensive comments, Moosa suggested that comprehensive investigations should be conducted into historical cases dating back to 1980. He called for examination of cases involving commercial properties in Male', instances of property seizures, and historical financial transactions between state institutions and banks. He further emphasised the importance of investigating cases where companies faced financial difficulties due to unpaid Government dues, stating these matters should be addressed through proper judicial processes.

Adding to these perspectives, former Criminal Justice Advisor and former Prosecutor General Muhuthaz Muhusin referenced past issues at state-owned enterprises. He pointed out that during the previous administration, allegations of misconduct at Fenaka Corporation had reportedly gone unaddressed despite evidence being submitted to relevant authorities, ultimately leading to financial difficulties at the corporation.

These statements from various political figures come as President Dr Muizzu's Administration intensifies its anti-corruption efforts through investigations and management changes at State institutions. While discussions of previous governments' conduct are common in political discourse, the specific cases and institutional issues raised by these senior political figures suggest systemic challenges that align with the current Government's focus on accountability and reform.
