Maldives Local Councils' Association against Urban Planning and Management Act

Maldives Local Councils' Association (MLCA) has opposed the Urban Planning and Management Act, citing that it could negatively affect the system that represents and provides services to the public.

In a resolution issued yesterday, the association stated that the Act contradicts the Decentralization law and the goals of the Decentralization of Administrative Areas. As a result, the association has called on President Dr Mohamed Muizzu to amend the law, which he ratified last Sunday.
