Two individuals charged in Fenaka Corporation corruption case

The Prosecutor General (PG) Office has filed charges against two individuals in the Criminal Court on suspicion of committing corruption in the process of contracting a security camera system installation at Fenaka Corporation branches.

In a statement released today, the PG Office stated that corruption was involved in the awarding of a contract to Keiretsu Private Limited in June 2018. This contract was for the establishment of a camera system in all Fenaka branches, a command center at the head office, and a video conference system, as well as the subsequent disbursement of funds to the company.

The PG Office specified that the charges were filed against:

1.      Mariyam Dheena Solih - Gn. Fuvahmulah, Hoadhadu, Maizaan, who was serving as the Deputy Director of Fenaka's Procurement Department at the time.

2.      Ismail Sham'oon - M. Fehividhuvaruge, who was Head of the Information Communication Technology Department at the time.

The PG statement alleges that the two individuals misused their official authority by facilitating the payment of funds to Keiretsu Private Limited before Fenaka had fully received the contracted goods.

The base penalty for this offense is imprisonment for one year, seven months, and six days.

This indictment of two individuals follows another corruption case involving Fenaka, where the company's former Managing Director, Ahmed Saeed Mohamed, was convicted for Misuse of Official Authority and sentenced to four years in prison.
