Country’s development depends on young people’s willingness to serve: Muththalib

Housing Minister Dr Abdulla Muththalib said at the Maldives National University graduation ceremony on Thursday that the country's development depends on the younger generation's willingness to serve, and criticised public servants who treat their jobs as mere office work. He noted that the Maldives generates around MVR 40 billion in revenue, matched by recurrent expenditure, limiting the government's ability to increase salaries.
