Government Layoffs Contradict Election Promises as Political Hiring Continues

The Muizzu government laid off 35 Regional Development Corporation employees in Thinadhoo and 22 in Alifushi, while Fenaka Corporation hired 12 employees in Maarandhoo ahead of a local council by-election. Opposition leader Fayyaz Ismail criticised the government, and the layoffs appear to contradict President Muizzu's earlier assurance that no one would be terminated based on political affiliation.
