Former Defense Minister Maria Ahmed Didi has called for an urgent investigation into alleged accounting errors made by the previous government regarding state finances.

Her appeal follows Attorney General Ahmed Usham's revelation that over two billion MVR remain unrecorded in the Ministry of Finance's accounting system after being expended from the state budget.

Maria emphasized the need for the government to thoroughly investigate these discrepancies without delay. However, she insisted that such inquiries should not serve as a pretext for delaying the disclosure of financial statements mandated by law.

During a press conference held at the President's Office, Attorney General Usham highlighted that approximately two billion MVR in financial transactions from the Ministry of Finance last year had not been documented properly. He warned that including these amounts in the current year's accounts could lead to legal complications.

Usham stated that it is essential to investigate these cases, stressing that the "mistakes" made in managing state accounts must not go unchecked. He urged accountability and transparency in the handling of public funds, asserting that the integrity of the financial system is crucial for maintaining public trust.
