Customs refutes Minister Haidar's statement, says discussions on 100 flat issue ongoing

Maldives Customs Service today refuted the statement made by Housing Minister Dr. Ali Haidar Ahmed yesterday at the parliament's Petition Committee, in which he said that the 4,000 flats allocated to be issued under the 'Gedhoruveriyaa' [homeowner] scheme does not include the 100 flats dedicated for employees of Customs.

A memo signed and issued by the newly appointed Commissioner General of Customs Fathimath Dhiyana said that the decision to include 100 apartments for Customs within the first 4,000 apartments to be issued under the Gedhoruveriyaa scheme was first communicated by the President's Office on 19th September during former president Ibrahim Mohamed Solih's administration.
