Nasheed: Only MDP can run a decentralized Maldives

Speaker of the Parliament, Mohamed Nasheed has stated that no other party other than MDP can develop the country in a decentralized system during the “Agenda 19 Rashah” campaign trip by MDP.

Nasheed was speaking H. A Hoarafushi when he stated that no other party was capable of bringing the development of decentralization other than MDP.

“No others can do this, PPM, Jumhooree Party or anyone else for that matter, cannot do this work, Even the parties that are created by PPM splitting into four. They won’t know how to do a single thing because they don’t have the mindset,” said Nasheed.

Nasheed stated that MDP’s mind was on empowering the councils and the people while opposition parties were focused on gathering power.

“Reclaiming land from near Male’ and gather all the citizens there. Centralizing everyone is what they were doing. Destroying the councils, and residences of the islands. They want to destroy islands and gather everyone to Male’ area.” said Nasheed.

Nasheed also highlighted the developments brought by the government. He stated the efforts made to reform the judiciary, income tax, and decentralization work as examples of such developments.

MDP will be conducting a door to door campaign in the Thiladhunmathi area as part of the campaign trip. the party primaries for the local council election will be held on January 31, 2020.
