MDP Chairman Fayyaz Ismail has criticized the rising state expenditure, attributing it to the increase in political positions. His comments came after Parliament rejected the MDP's emergency motion to disclose the number of political appointees and the salary expenses of government-owned companies.
Fayyaz expressed disappointment following the dismissal, stating that the government's actions contradicted promises made during the presidential election. He emphasized that the government had pledged transparency to the people, but the increase in political positions and subsequent state expenditure undermined that commitment.
He further criticized the government's economic management, arguing that the current state of the economy results from poor governance. He emphasized better financial oversight and accountability to address the country's economic challenges.
In a related development, the Finance Committee of the ruling PNC-majority Parliament has requested the Ministry of Finance to provide an official count of political posts within the government. This move aims to clarify the impact of political appointments on state expenditure.
