The Maldives government has been mocked for claiming to have spent MVR3.5 million (US$227,000) to build a power station in Hithaadhoo island, Baa Atoll, except the facility does not exist and there is no evidence of construction work.
The Ravvehi Tharaqqee website and booklet, prepared by the President’s Office, says the money was spent to complete the project.
But, according to local news website Hithaadhoo Online, building has not started.
“Some people are saying a glass powerhouse has been built in Hithaadhoo and others are saying a noiseless power house has been built,” an article read.
