The Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) has strongly condemned the recent layoffs of numerous employees from government-owned companies.
In a statement released today, the MDP criticized President Muizzu’s administration for its poor economic management and failure to implement effective measures to address the ongoing economic crisis.
The MDP highlighted that while layoffs are affecting many workers, party members continue to receive high-paying political appointments, contradicting the promises made by President Muizzu during his campaign. This discrepancy has raised concerns about the integrity of the administration.
Additionally, the MDP accused the government of targeting employees who do not support the current regime, noting that the layoffs reportedly began following threats from members of the ruling PPM/PNC coalition. According to MDP, these threats suggested that employees who do not align with the government's agenda would face termination.
In light of these developments, the MDP has called for a review of political appointments that lack substantive roles and urged the government to cut back on wasteful spending.
The statement comes at a time when the FENAKA Corporation has announced layoffs of temporary workers at sites where operations have ceased. The MDP’s response underscores growing tensions surrounding employment policies and governance in the Maldives, as the party pushes for accountability and fair treatment of workers amidst the challenging economic landscape.
