Parliament has postponed approving the appointment of Anti-Corruption Commissioner Ali Rasheed.
This morning Speaker Abdulla Shahid cited ‘procedural issues’ for the delay and scheduled the matter for tomorrow, if the Finance Committee resolved the issues.
Haveeru reported that Committee Chair Ahmed Nazim said the decision was made because Rasheed did not receive the required marks for the position.
The former Auditor General Ibrahim Naeem was dismissed in a no-confidence motion by the opposition-majority parliament earlier this year, shortly after he demanded a financial audit of all government ministers past and present.
An investigation by the Anti-Corruption Commission reported that Naeem had paid for travel and a tie on a government credit card.
