Minister for Housing and Transport Mohamed Aslam has announced the government will sign for the construction of 500 homes next month, after early agreements with an Indian contractor.
However the Dhivehi Qaumee Party (DQP) claimed the government had promised to build 10,000 housing units across the Maldives before the end of 2009, including 900 flats in Hulhumale, and called for Aslam’s resignation over the delay.
Housing was one of the five key elements in the Maldivian Democratic Party’s election manifesto.
Secretary general of the DQP Abdulla Ameen accused the government of promising “wonderful dreams” it was unable to fulfil.
