AG still maintains ACC lacks authority to stop institutions' activities, solution to be provided!

Attorney General Ahmed Usham said today that he does not believe the Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) has the power to temporarily order activities of institutions to be stopped, but assured that a legal solution would be provided.

The matter stems from an order issued by ACC last year where Maldives Police Service was notified to stop the promotion of its officers. The order was not complied with, and ACC escalated the matter to Civil Court, which did not end in the commission's favour.
