Home Minister Ali Ihsan on Friday responded to comments made by former President Abdulla Yameen, who said the minister could not gain the trust of the police.
Speaking at a meeting of the People’s National Front (PNF) on Thursday, Yameen said Ihsan had failed to defend the police service. He claimed the minister was contributing to further decline within the institution instead of working to strengthen it.
In a post on X, Ihsan said Yameen had held power for five years but had not taken steps to build public confidence in the police. Ihsan said that if such efforts had been made during Yameen’s administration, the institution would have earned wider trust.
Ihsan said he intends to ensure that, by the end of the current administration’s term, the police will become an institution trusted by the public.
He also responded to Yameen’s call for the police to maintain integrity. Ihsan said most officers are committed to national service and carry out their duties with dedication.
He added that President Mohamed Muizzu is aware of the need to improve areas within the police service and is working with confidence in the institution.
