Mayor of Addu City Abdulla Sodig has suggested the financial difficulties facing his council are a result of the failure to implement the decentralisation act properly.
“Right now decentralisation in this country is just for show,” Sodig told Minivan News.
“The government and Majlis need to resolve these issues if the citizens are to benefit from decentralisation in a meaningful way.”
Addu City will be hit hard by the government’s proposed budget cuts, said Sodig, expressing concerns that the proposed budget for the city is insufficient to adequately provide essential services.
