Members of the public proposed solutions to the congestion of Malé’s roads at an open forum Monday night with president-elect Ibrahim Mohamed Solih.
The Jazeera Holhuashi forum was the first of a series of town hall-style meetings planned across the country to seek public opinion to formulate the incoming administration’s policies.
“God willing, the work of our government will be based on public consultation and listening to the people,” Solih said in his introductory remarks.
Echoing his Jazeera Raajje (island nation) campaign slogan, Solih said the Maldives must be developed through decentralisation to make the capital a more peaceful and liveable place.
