New office space offered to Malé city council office by the government is infested with rats and fungus, says deputy mayor Shifa Mohamed.
The housing minister ordered the opposition-dominated council last week to vacate the city hall building at Galolhu Billoorijehige and move to smaller offices at the Huravee building within seven days.
Shifa told Minivan News today that the council has shared numerous concerns regarding safety and hygiene with the civil service commission.
“There is fungus on the walls of the building. The building has a pungent smell and there are rats and rat holes everywhere,” she said.
