During the inauguration ceremony of the sewerage system established on Henbadhoo, Noonu Atoll, by tourism tycoon Mohamed Moosa (Champa Uchu)’s company, President Solih described that it would be a huge convenience for the government if resorts could provide neighboring islands with basic facilities. He further explained that sewerage and potable water systems could be more efficiently and easily installed on islands with the help of nearby resorts.
Noting the difficulties faced by the people of Henbadhoo in the past, due to the lack of a sewerage system on the island, the President thanked the owner of Champa Brothers, Mohamed Moosa, for taking the initiative to establish such a system on Henbadhoo.
