Local market stalls in the capital are leased to those favoured by ruling party lawmakers, a leaked Viber chat log has shown.
The log, believed to be from the Progressive Party of Maldives parliamentary group, shows a message from MP Ahmed Nihan.
“Today, the housing ministry informed me that stalls will be given as per the requests made by the MPs for individuals in their respective constituencies,” he said.
Nihan, who is also the PPM’s parliamentary group leader, thanked Housing Minister Dr. Mohamed Muizzu and President Abdulla Yameen for making the arrangement.
