Maavashu MP Ahmed Shakir has formally requested the Speaker of the People’s Majlis, Abdul Raheem Abdulla, to disclose detailed information on Public Sector Investment Programme projects included in the state budget.
In a letter, Shakir noted that MVR 8.2 billion has been proposed for PSIP in 2027. He compared earlier years, pointing out that while MVR 12.4 billion was approved for 2025, actual spending reached only MVR 8.6 billion, and that the MVR 8.3 billion approved for 2026 is now estimated to result in expenditure of MVR 6.5 billion.
He expressed particular concern about projects in Laamu, Kunahandhoo and Hithadhoo, which fall within the Maavashu constituency. Physical work on the water and sewerage system in Kunahandhoo has yet to begin, he said.
Shakir asked for a breakdown of how PSIP projects have been distributed across islands from 2024 to 2027, together with budgetary allocations and progress updates for the Kunahandhoo and Hithadhoo schemes. No response from the Speaker or the Finance Ministry has been reported.
