President's Office has launched an investigation into the comments made by former Managing Director Hassan Mughnee, who is currently a state Minister at the Environment Ministry, calling President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih a 'thief'.
Mughnee made the defamatory comments via Twitter last Thursday when he called the President a 'thief' who has employed a band of thieves to lead the State Owned Enterprises.
He called out the top officials of Fenaka, Stelco, RDC, STO, Wamco, and MACL as thieves.
Mughnee further said that there were only 4 months before this corrupt administration comes to an end.
He promptly deleted this Tweet that collectively insulted the President along with top officials of several SOEs.
The President's Office said before that it would investigate why a government top official was making such defamatory comments but have not taken any action against the former MD.
But it has been reported that the President's Office is still questioning Mughnee on the comments he made.
Mughnee who is from the Jumhooree Party and was posted as the MD of Stelco under the Party's slot on the coalition government. But Mughnee was replaced last year and given the post of State Minister at the Environment Ministry.
