Former Vice President Dr. Mohamed Jameel Ahmed says every time the ruling MDP comes into power, it puts the country’s freedom into jeopardy and pushes the nation into more debt while making daily life difficult and hard.
In harsh comments aimed at the current administration via twitter, Dr. Jameel said that Maldivians have now realized the difference between two political ideals and that the citizens want a government that makes developments such as bridges a reality instead of an administration that bows down to another power.
Dr. Jameel said that the current administration is too carefree and that by the end of its tenure the country and its people would fall to despair like never before with many affected by the deteriorating situation.
The former VP said that the current situation can be improved and that is in the hands of the people. He added that the country is bigger than just one party or one citizen.
This comes after Speaker of the parliament and former President Mohamed Nasheed said today that the best thing to do given the current circumstances is to restructure the debt obligations from the years 2012 to 2018 without incurring more overdue fines.
In a tweet, Nasheed said the most dangerous aspect of loans is that being unable to generate enough economic activity when it comes to loan repayment.
He pointed out that the grace period for most loans taken between years 2012 to 2018 is now over and the administration of Ibrahim Mohamed Solih is now obligated to fulfill these crushing debt obligations.
Nasheed said that state revenues are almost non-existent and debt obligations would be ever high between the years 2021 to 2023.
In light of this, the best way forward he said is to restructure the loan/debt obligations from the years 2012 to 2018 without further fines.
