With a spacious council building already standing in Hithaadhoo, a new administrative office is being prioritized over numerous essential services: Residents ask, is this a deliberate provocation? | raajje tv
The B. Hithaadhoo Council has voiced strong opposition to the construction of a new administrative building, labeling it an unnecessary project and an act of "harassment" against the community. The council noted that while a spacious office building is already in use, several other vital development projects have been sidelined in favor of this new construction.
In information shared with RaajjeTV regarding this project, the Hithaadhoo Council has expressed its formal concerns over the matter.
The council stated that during the previous term, they had brought several priority projects essential for the island's development to the President's attention. However, the council noted that the construction of a new council office building was never included in any of those priority lists.
According to the council, their administrative operations are currently housed in one of the highest-quality buildings in Baa Atoll. The council further stated that there are numerous other priorities more critical at this time than investing funds into the construction of a new administrative office.
The council believes this is an act of mockery or a deliberate provocation directed at the public.
The Hithaadhoo Council has called for other more pressing matters to be prioritized over this project. The council believes that spending heavily on such an initiative, while other essential development needs remain unaddressed, constitutes a waste of public funds.
