An audio clip believed to contain Finance Minister Qasim’s voice has been posted on internationally well known website known as www.you tube.com. The audio clip indicates that Finance Minister Qasim is not working for the government in the capacity of Finance Minister on his own free will but is forced to do so.

The audio clip indicates that Minister Qasim is not working for the government on own free will but is forced do so. It also indicates Minister Qasim do not trust President Gayoom.

In the audio clip, a voice believed to be of Minister Qasim says” a person who was kept behind bars yesterday, or a person who was sentenced to life, cannot accept it even if he is made to sit on a bed of roses”. It particularly pointed out such a thing cannot be accepted to Qasim Ibrahim.

“How can person who was kept behind bars yesterday or sentenced to life accept even if his made to sit on bed of roses, I cannot for sure accept it, I am in this position not because I accept it” said the voice believed to be of Finance Minister Qasim.

A while back another 2 audio clips were also posted on you tube. Many believe that such audio clips started appearing on websites following the sacking of reporter Hiriga Husham from a local daily believed to be connected to Finance Minister. Sources claim that it is possible that Hiriga Husham may possess such audios and that further clips can be expected. However some claim that audio clip may be electronically manipulated.

Despite Miadhu Daily’s attempts to contact Minister Qasim to obtain his comment it proved futile.
