Haalu Kihineh?: Kulhudhuffushi Says Muizzu Knows Neither How to Govern nor Step Down

Residents of Kulhudhuffushi City, speaking on RaajjeTV’s "Haalu Kihineh?" program, have expressed deep concerns regarding the significant hardships they currently face in their daily lives. Among the most pressing issues highlighted were the skyrocketing cost of goods, persistent shortages of essential medicines, and the rising burden of electricity bills.

Residents of Kulhudhuffushi City—a community with over 11,000 registered inhabitants and a living population exceeding 13,000—have expressed grave concerns regarding their current situation, describing the city's present state as significantly deteriorated during interviews with RaajjeTV’s "Haalu Kihineh?" program.

An elderly resident who spoke to RaajjeTV described the situation as dire, stating that the hardships faced are beyond words. He noted that while a kilogram of fish was previously priced at around twenty Rufiyaa, the price has now surged past thirty Rufiyaa. He added that, in reality, the living conditions on the island are deteriorating day by day.

"What is there to say about our situation? The price of fish, which was previously 20 Rufiyaa per kilogram, has now risen above 30 Rufiyaa. In reality, the conditions on the island have deteriorated significantly."

Speaking to RaajjeTV, a woman stated that her primary concerns are the rising cost of living and the shortage of essential medicines.

Only those who visit the shops to buy groceries truly understand how much prices have soared. Despite Muizzu’s repeated assurances that costs would not rise, everything is now moving in the exact opposite direction of his promises.

He stated that President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu neither knows how to govern nor how to step down from power. He further remarked that the public would find significant relief if President Muizzu were to resign.

Others who spoke with RaajjeTV also expressed their concerns regarding the rising cost of goods. Furthermore, they shared their grievances over the increasing cost of electricity bills.

Speaking to RaajjeTV, a middle-aged man expressed significant concerns regarding the delays in a case he filed in court. He emphasized that the judicial process needs to be more efficient and expedited than it is currently.

Furthermore, another resident expressed deep concern over the shortage of medication. He noted that due to the unavailability of many essential medicines, they are often forced to source them from Male'. He further highlighted that this is unacceptable given that Kulhudhuffushi holds the status of a city.

Concerns over the shortage of essential medicines are mounting, with many critical drugs currently unavailable. This has forced residents to source medications from Male' on several occasions, despite Kulhuduffushi holding the official status of a city.
