A document has been submitted indicating that People's National Congress members received payments of 50,000 rufiyaa each from President Dr Mohamed Muizzu.
The documentation, circulated through local media, lists the transfers. The payments have drawn public attention and questions about their purpose and funding source.
Ruling party members often receive organisational support, but large cash transfers require clear accounting under political financing rules. No official statement from the President's Office or PNC had been issued at the time of reporting.
Opposition figures have called for transparency regarding the nature of the payments and whether they relate to party activities or other purposes. Civil society groups periodically monitor political financing in the Maldives.
The matter remains under discussion in media and political circles. Further details on the exact dates and recipients have not been independently verified in all outlets.
Authorities have not commented on any investigation into the transfers.
