Government agencies have not provided information to transition committees about the number of Indian soldiers in the Maldives and control over radar systems, Transition Spokesman Mohamed Firuzul has said.
At a press briefing by the President-Elect's Office on Wednesday, reporters asked repeatedly about the radars and number of soldiers but Firuzul said he was unable to provide details as it has not been shared.
The questions should be directed to the current government until President-Elect Dr. Mohamed Muizzu takes the oath of office, he added.
"As I noted yesterday as well about the number of Indian soldiers, we have not received adequate information yet to the extent that we could have certainty," Firuzul said.
Firuzul repeatedly gave the same answer but did not say which agency was refusing to cooperate. He said repeatedly that the information has not been provided.
About the radars, Firuzul said "we have not received adequate information related to that."
But a month has passed has since transition committees were formed and began work with the outgoing government.
Firuzul has previously shared information gathered by the committees to the media.
The transition committees have gathered and revealed details about corruption and problems in the management of government-owned companies.
