MP Ahmed Saleem, representing the Eydhafushi constituency, has called for a comprehensive approach to investigating unjust enrichment, stressing that such investigations should not be limited to specific individuals.
During a parliamentary debate on proposed amendments to the Penal Code—aimed at addressing challenges in investigating and prosecuting corruption and unjust enrichment in public institutions—Saleem highlighted that the law should apply universally.
The proposed amendment seeks to facilitate the investigation of unjustly acquired wealth by high-ranking officials, including the President, ministers, MPs, judges, and both current and former public servants.
Saleem argued, "Unjust wealth must be investigated whether it involves MPs, public servants, or even the President. No one should be above scrutiny."
Acknowledging the potential challenges in enforcing such measures, Saleem emphasized that no individual should hold more power than the state itself.
