B. Kamadhoo Council Vice President Ahmed Sajid has said that there is no basis behind his suspension.
Sajid has been suspended for three months without pay for failing to appoint a President before the deadline.
He said that withholding his pay is inhumane as he has a family to look after but that despite the suspension he will continue working for the rights of citizens.
Member Ahmed Sameer is now the temporary head of the Council.
In a letter sent to Sajid on May 31, the Local Government Authority stated that he was suspended for failing to appoint a President during the 14-day window after the seat became vacant.
In a response letter to LGA, Sajid noted that they were unable to appoint a President due to the difficulties faced by the Council, including not being connected to the Government E-Letter Management System for five months and being unable to print the relevant documents.
