Opportunity to complain without hesitancy is an achievement: Nasheed

President of Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) Mohamed Nasheed has expressed enabling the opportunity to complain without any hesitancy is one major achievement of the administration.

Speaking to residents of Kelaa, Haa Alifu Atoll, Nasheed said citizens were not living independently during the previous administration, despite Maldives being a sovereign country. In this regard, he noted freedom of expression and the right to seek development was grasped from the citizens by the past administrations.

Moreover, Nasheed, who is also the Speaker of Parliament, said the amendments brought to the Decentralisation Act have empowered citizens. He added the amendments provide ways for residents by living in their respective islands.

The campaign trip embarked by the main ruling party, MDP, will make visits to 10 islands in Haa Alifu Atoll and Haa Dhaalu Atoll. The 300-member delegation from MDP is led by Nasheed.
