Ethics committee to probe into Health Minister Ameen's false statements at Parliament

Speaker of Parliament Mohamed Nasheed, on Wednesday, requested that the Committee on Member's Privileges and Ethics investigate discrepancies present between Minister of Health Abdulla Ameen's statements delivered to the Parliament and the information compiled by the Auditor General's Office in their relevant audit report, published on August 16.

Nasheed kicked off Wednesday's Parliament session by narrating Ameen's statements word-for-word, and requesting the Secretary General to read parts of the audit report, deemed relevant to the matter.
