The President's Office has reaffirmed the government's commitment to providing compensation for damages resulting from the unlawful termination of agreements.
During a press conference, the Spokesperson at the President's Office, Miuvaan Mohamed, emphasized that the government will not discriminate against individuals who have suffered financial losses due to agreements terminated unlawfully by the previous administration. He stated that the government firmly believes in compensating those who have been unfairly affected by the cancellation of agreements. A special committee has been established to address these cases and work towards providing compensation to those who have experienced financial hardships.
Furthermore, the spokesperson highlighted that the government's compensation efforts are conducted with a strong focus on justice and fairness. Miuvaan emphasised that the government does not discriminate in the compensation process. Individuals who feel that they have been treated unfairly are encouraged to file complaints with the relevant authorities.
The government has taken significant steps to secure compensation for victims of unlawfully terminated agreements by the previous administration. In some cases, courts have ruled in favor of compensation amounting to millions of dollars, determining that the previous administration had unlawfully canceled the agreements. The government also seeks to settle compensation cases through negotiations, taking into account the minimum damage to the state.
Government officials have expressed the view that action should be taken against officials from the previous administration responsible for negligence, as the state is required to pay substantial sums of money as compensation to various parties. Additionally, the Ministry of Finance has highlighted that numerous agreements were unlawfully terminated by the previous administration, resulting in the failure to make payments for several projects.
