The Kaafu Atoll council has been obstructed from functioning and conducting its work after the Mid-North National Office froze the budget expected by the council, reports Haveeru.
Kaafu Atoll Council’s President Ahmed Saeed told the paper that the council might be unwilling to pay the wages of the civil servants working in the council as well as the councilors.
Haveeru reported that the budget was held by the National Office due to inconsistent articles in the concerned law within the constitution.
The paper also reported that the council’s president had said that development programs scheduled were delayed and could only be commenced after it received the budget.
“We were told that the budget would not be provided until after the conclusion of the judicial procedures. The budget has not been provided to any island [council] of the atoll. The atoll has come to a halt,” he told Haveeru.
