Information Commissioner Hussain Fiyaz Moosa on Sunday, ordered the Ministry of Tourism to release information regarding the lease-hold agreements of islands and lagoons leased through the Maldives Marketing and Public Relations Corporation (MMPRC) corruption scandal.
The ruling was issued at a public hearing held at the Information Commission in relation to the tourism ministry's failure to honour a right to information request lodged by a third party seeking both the lease-hold and sublease-hold agreements of some 51 islands and lagoons leased by the ministry.
