Former government was unable to settle the dues to fishermen in spite of money printing: Shiyam

Minister of Fisheries and Ocean Resources Ahmed Shiyam has stated that the former government was incapable of distributing the payments owed to the fishermen by the state in spite of printing large amounts of money during their tenure.

During a meeting held in Haa Alif Atoll Ihavandhoo within President Dr Mohamed Muizzu’s trip across the Bodu Thiladhunmathi atoll, Shiyam shared that the first action of the president after assuming office was to cease the printing of money on account of his observation that it was causing strains and struggles within the people’s everyday life.
