An issue came to light regarding the GDh. Gadhdhoo Council unlawfully issuing more than 1,600 licences without tests, leading to the suspension of the land and sea vessel licensing services provided by the council on 21 September 2026 and the commencement of an investigation in collaboration with relevant authorities. Former President Abdulla Yameen and former Vice President Dr. Mohamed Jameel Ahmed have directed strong political criticisms at the policies of President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu's government. The Criminal Court has ruled that the case regarding a 2,000 Rufiyaa scam carried out through the Instagram account 'Madadhaa' was not proven, as the prosecution failed to prove a connection between the accused and the account. The Civil Court has determined the transaction to be valid following Malé City Mayor Adam Azim gifting his share from the 871.25-square-foot plot of land at H. Maadhoofiyaa, which was in his ownership, to his wife, Aishath Nasheeda.
