Prosecutor General Hussain Shameem said on Saturday that he is willing to resign over the ventilator corruption case after Parliament Speaker, former President Mohamed Nasheed accused him of failure following the decision of the Prosecutor General’s Office not to pursue charges in the case.
In an interview to RaajjeTV, Shameem described Nasheed as a hardworking public official who has always put public interest first.
“He messaged me. And I acknowledge that,” said Shameem, stating that Nasheed also sent the message Nasheed sent to a MDP WhatsApp group demanding Shameem resignation to him, personally.
Shameem said he does not wish to make any further comment regarding the matter, and that he holds Nasheed in high regard.
“I will act in the matter of my resignation in accordance with official procedure,” he said.
