A statement by the Parliament revealed that the Speaker Abdulla Shahid had informed the officials of the Parliament Secretariat to comply with the request of the Auditor General. The audit report of the Parliament of 2010 had highlighted issues with the MVR2 million project to install touch screens for every desk inside the Parliament chamber. While the project was required to have gone through the tender evaluation board, the audit report alleged that sufficient assessment was not carried out and in the end the company that was awarded the contract had reaped excessive profits due to the oversight.
