Frustrated DhiFM journalist launches one man protest against housing ministry bureaucracy

DhiFM journalist Qufthaq Ajeer had spent two weeks trying to obtain the information for a piece on housing projects.

But today the frustrated reporter launched a one man protest against the Housing Ministry and bureaucratic inaction, by setting up camp in the ministry’s lobby and refusing to leave until the information was provided.

‘’I have been trying to get this information for two weeks,” he told Minivan News. “Every day they say tomorrow or the next day and it keeps going that way, so I thought I would try a new way today.”

“I decided to stay inside the office until either the police came to throw me out, or the Deputy Minister Mohamed Faiz came to provide me the information I need.”
