President Dr Mohamed Muizzu has reassured the commitment for 2025 and 2026 to actively fulfill the campaign pledges made in the islands during the presidential elections. He made the remarks while speaking with the resident of AA. Thoddoo Island this morning.
The President clarified that the reasons for not meeting public expectations in 2024 are well known. He explained that the Administration had to adhere to a budget established by the previous Finance Minister and approved by the former government's majority in parliament. Consequently, progress was limited, as the Administration needed to take into account the recommendations for the transitional phase.
The President stated the main challenge for the Government this year was the budget passed by the previous Parliament, which sought to undermine the current Administration. He noted that this issue has now been resolved.
The President added that the next phase of implementation would commence with the budget approved by the parliamentary majority of the current Government, which is intended to fulfill the promises made to the public. He assured that over the next two years, all presidential commitments would be executed in a coordinated and systematic manner across the country, with numerous projects also nearing completion.
The President emphasized the Government's commitment to both infrastructure development and social stability. He stated that his Administration has ended the practice of releasing prisoners shortly before elections without proper rehabilitation, a tactic that has previously been used for political gain.
