Former secretary rejects corruption allegations against eight advisers

A former government secretary has dismissed as “baseless” the allegations of corruption recently made against eight advisers to the interim administration.

In a statement issued on Saturday, the former bureaucrat claimed the accusations lacked evidence and appeared to be politically motivated. He argued that the advisers in question had conducted their duties with transparency and in accordance with the law, and that such claims could undermine public trust in state institutions.

The remarks came after reports circulated alleging financial irregularities and abuse of power by the advisers. The former secretary urged those making the accusations to present verifiable proof rather than relying on speculation or hearsay.

He also called on the media to exercise caution when publishing unverified claims, warning that misinformation could damage reputations and disrupt the functioning of the government during a sensitive political period.
