MDP Expresses Support for Government’s Economic Reform Package, Questions ‘Excessive’ Political Appointments
The opposition MDP said it will support the government's three economic reform bills, with MP Ahmed Shamheed backing subsidy reform but opposing a proposed lowering of fish prices, while calling for fewer political and SOE positions to cut state spending. MP Mauroof Zakir raised concern over a rejected motion requiring the administration to disclose all political appointments, amid opposition claims that nearly 2,000 political posts have been created despite President Muizzu's pre-election assurance of no more than 700.
