Maavashu MP Ahmed Shakir has written to the Speaker of the People’s Majlis requesting detailed information on Public Sector Investment Programme projects included in the state budget.
In the letter, Shakir noted that MVR 8.2 billion has been proposed for PSIP in 2027. He observed that while MVR 12.4 billion was approved for 2025, actual expenditure was MVR 8.6 billion, and that current estimates for 2026 suggest spending of around MVR 6.5 billion against an approved figure of MVR 8.3 billion.
Shakir expressed particular concern about projects in Laamu Kunahandhoo and Hithadhoo, which fall within his constituency. He said physical work on the water and sewerage system in Kunahandhoo has not yet begun, and that the projects are required to be completed by 2027.
He requested a breakdown of how PSIP projects have been distributed across islands from 2024 to 2027, together with budgetary allocations and progress updates for the works in Kunahandhoo and Hithadhoo.
