Parliamentary Committee to Question LGA for Censuring Councils During President’s Visit to Atolls

The Parliament's Committee on Decentralisation will question the Local Government Authority over warnings it issued to councils during President Muizzu's visits to the atolls, after the LGA censured the Kendhikulhudhoo Council for accusing the president of misusing state resources for campaigning. The council said the president's 29 February visit to the island was turned into a political campaign event without its consent.
