President of EC summoned to ACC

President of Elections Commission, Ahmed Sulaimaan was summoned to Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) on Tuesday.

Sulaimaan and three other members of EC were summoned to ACC over the same issue.

President of ACC, Hassan Luthfy spoke to “Sun” on Tuesday and said that the EC members were summoned to ACC to clarify some information. And that the members themselves were not under investigation.

An official from ACC informed “Sun” that they were summoned regarding investigation into a legal officer hired to the company in 2015.

The party which raised the issue with ACC has accused on nepotism in hiring a legal officer to the commission, despite other more qualified individuals having applied to the post.
