Past decentralisation efforts driven by emotions, this time it will be done responsibly: Minister

Changes brought to the decentralisation of Maldives during the past governments were influenced by emotions, but this administration's efforts towards decentralisation would be carried out responsibly, said Local Government Minister Adam Shareef today.

Speaking at the Decentralisation Committee of the Parliament, the minister said that some previous changes brought to the decentralisation system were influenced by emotions, but that this time it would cast the party system aside and instead, focus on the decentralisation system as a whole, making responsible changes.
