DRP will not honour “shady deals” made over Male’ International Airport
21 Jun 2010, 7:55 PM
Vice President and Spokesman for the opposition Dhivehi Rayyithunge Party (DRP) Ibrahim Shareef has said the DRP will not honour “shady deals made according to vested interests” if the party comes to power in 2013, referring to the government’s privatising of the country’s airports.
The government has shortlisted three parties to run Male’ International airport and will select one over the next 3-4 days.
The parties include Aéroports de Paris Management Company of France (ADP) and Turkish company TAV Airports Holding Company, Indian company GVK Airport Developers in partnership with Swiss Flughafen Zurich AG, and GMR-KLIA.
Shareef expressed concern that the government’s efforts to privatise state assets, such as the airport, were not occurring with parliament approval.
