Nazim’s manifesto: Free pads, Hiyaa flat rent at MVR 4,000

Maldives National Party (MNP)’s presidential candidate and leader Colonel (Retired) Mohamed Nazim launched his ‘Ujaala Zamaan’ manifesto on Wednesday, which promised free pads for women and slashing the rent of the Hiyaa flats to MVR 4,000.

Speaking at the launch of his manifesto, Nazim said he entered the presidential race to guarantee a prosperous life for the Maldivian people.

Nazim said he traveled across the Maldives and sought the opinion of the numerous people he met to write his manifesto.

He said he closely observed the situation of the people during his travels.

Nazim said the country needs to see an end to the sight of people going from place-to-place begging for what they need.

The launch of the ‘Ujaalaa Zamaan’ manifesto saw MNP present its pledges for the first 30 days of the party’s administration.

FIRST 30 DAY PLEDGES:

• Re-taking the alleged lost maritime area
• Slashing the rent of Hiyaa flats to MVR 4,000
• Granting housing loans upon submission of land registration
• Eliminating the levels in health insurance
• Freeing the first 100 units from electricity meters monthly, and freeing 3,000 liters from the water bill monthly
• Free waste collection from households
• Raising single-parent allowance to MVR 4,000
• Proving a Ramadan allowance of MVR 3,000 to all Maldivian citizens above the age of 18
• Providing free pads to women

Nazim said that the pledges on his manifesto aren’t unrealistic, and can be achieved with cooperation from the people.

The manifesto focuses on key themes including establishing justice, building a skilled and happy generation, strengthening religious values, ensuring safety and security, and building a strong economy.

MNP also launched the official website for its presidential candidate, which includes information regarding the party’s candidate and manifesto.

Nazim currently serves as the parliamentary representative for the Dhangethi constituency.
