Adhaalath Party says it had been one of the first political parties to voice concerns about the alleged corruption and scams committed by the administration of former President Abdullah Yameen from the first day onwards.
In a series of tweets, the party said that although it had been a member of Yameen’s coalition government, the party had sounded the alarm over the numerous acts of corruption committed by the administration as well as former Vice President Ahmed Adeeb.
The party also said that nor had it accepted or acquired the scam funds through the MMPRC scandal, one of the biggest corruption scandals in the history of the country.
This comes after the former VP Adeeb said at court yesterday that there are no political parties who have not financially benefitted from the MMPRC scam.
At the court hearing, Adeeb had pled guilty to all 7 charges filed against him in regard to the MMPRC scandal.
Adeeb went onto say that he had already spent five years in jail in relation to these charges and that he now regrets all the bad decisions he has made.
Adeeb said he has now repented for the crimes he had committed in the past and that he begs forgiveness from the state and its nation for all the wrong he had done by misusing the power and authority he once had.
The former VP said this current regime had the capability to fully unravel the MMPRC graft case and that there is some information that would never be uncovered if he remained silent.
Adeeb also said all those involved in one of the biggest scams reported in the country must be brought to justice and that no exceptions should be made.
