The proposed MVR24.3 billion (US$1.58 billion) 2015 state budget is not aimed at delivering the promises made in the Progressive Party of Maldives (PPM)’s manifesto, says the Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP).
MDP Vice-Chair Ahmed Ali Niyaz said today that the party’s budget committee had researched the proposed budget and concluded it to be “aimless”.
“The current government has submitted a budget like those for Maumoon’s regime which serves for administrative purposes alone,” said Niyaz.
Niyaz added that the MDP had submitted programme budgets under a strategic action plan during its time in office.
