Presidential Advisor Granted Prime Hulhumalé Land for Mall Development

Businessman Mohamed Ali Janah, President Muizzu's Principal Advisor on Trade and Investment, was allocated around 100,000 square feet of land in Hulhumalé Phase One by the Housing Development Corporation for an upscale mall development on land forming part of a 300,000 square-foot area. The allocation, reportedly made through a joint venture with HDC that avoided a land fee of hundreds of millions of Maldivian rufiyaa, has drawn public accusations of favouritism and corruption.
