ACC's response to AG Office: Unified mindset key to eliminate corruption

Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) today, expressed concern over Attorney General's Office (AG Office)'s stance that the ACC does not have the authority to order Maldives Police Service (MPS) to hold off on promoting its officers - an order ACC gave to MPS last year, which resulted in a court case due to MPS's noncompliance.

Speaking at the parliament's Committee on Independent Institutions, ACC's president Adam Shamil said that corruption can only be eliminated through a unified mindset within the government, but that it is not the case.
