SOE committee recommends immediate dismissal of employees accused of corruption

Parliament's Public Accounts Committee approved a recommendation to the government to amend the human resources structure of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) to enable the immediate dismissal of employees accused of corruption.

During the committee meeting, Deputy Speaker Ahmed Nazim highlighted that under the current system, employees can remain in their positions until corruption cases are referred to the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) and the investigation is completed. This allows for the potential for further corrupt activities within the company, he said.
