All relevant agencies will be summoned to the parliament's Committee on State-Owned Enterprises (SOE) to answer questions regarding recent prevalence of scam cases.

SOE Committee on Tuesday discussed the report of the previous 19th parliament's SOE Committee on the withdrawal of funds from Bank of Maldives (BML) customer accounts without the owners' knowledge.

North Galolhu MP Mohamed Ibrahim (Kudu) submitted a proposal to the current parliament's SOE Committee to examine the issue and identify the progress and challenges faced by the relevant agencies.

Maavah MP Ahmed Shakir proposed summoning BML for questioning related to the case.

During the meeting, some members shared additional complaints related to BML, including a BML credit card issue.

Kinbidhoo MP Ali Ashrag highlighted the need to make BML a trustworthy company.

"Various parties are pointing fingers at BML in a lot of scam cases. Since the majority of the company's shares are owned by the state, I think BML should be brought here and discussed to make it a trustworthy company," he said.

Committee Chairperson and Baarah MP Ibrahim Shujau proposed summoning officials from other relevant agencies, including the police, Maldives Corrections Service, and Maldives Monetary Authority (MMA), along with BML. The committee has decided to send a letter to these agencies.
