Former Housing Minister Dr.Muizzu
The government had been “unjust and cruel” in disqualifying people from their Hiyaa flat allocations, said PPM Vice President and the current Malé City mayoral candidate, Dr Mohamed Muizzu.
The Hiyaa flats were 7,000 housing units constructed by the previous administration, when Dr Muizzu served as Housing Minister, and had been allocated prior to President Solih’s inauguration.
Alleging “corruption” in the previous administration’s allocation process, President Solih established a Flat Committee to revise the allocations. The revisions were published yesterday.
Several poor families who live in squalid conditions in Malé City had been disqualified from the revised lists.
In addition, several people who had been disqualified by the previous administration had received flats through the Flat Committee revisions.
In a tweet, Dr Muizzu said that the people who had been removed from the Solih government’s provisional list, although they had been named in the previous administration’s final list, “had kept hope alive”.
“However, the government has been unjust and cruel to them and extinguished their hope”, said Dr Muizzu.
