We are working on aligning ourselves to the aspirations of the residents of Male': the Mayor

The Mayor of Male', Dr. Mohamed Muizzu has affirmed that, in spite of the challenges in their path, the Male' City Council was committed to allign themselves to the aspirations of the city's residents.

"The government can try to portray me as a failure or someone who is incapable of fulfilling this responsibility", Dr. Muizzu said. He noted that his first task upon being elected to the post of Mayor last year was to meet President Solih in person and to assure him that the government could rely on his professionalism and commitment to leave political differences aside in fulfilling his responsiblities. "Over the past twelve months, I have not wavered from this", he stressed. The Male' City Council has always cooperated fully with the government. We have offered our firm support and assistance to every single initiative on their part, that is beneficial to our residents. "Sadly, our gesture has not been reciprocated", he added.

Dr. Muizzu assured the people that he would remain committed to fulfilling his responsibilities, and that his team would also not be sidetracked in spite of the difficulties. "We try every single day to allign ourselves to the aspirations of the people", he highlighted.

The Mayor said that the government's road blocks would not stop him in his tracks, and that he and his team at the Male' City Council were constantly reviewing innovative ways to get the job done. "What we have achieved so far has been done not because of the government, but in spite of them", the Mayor noted. "We always find a way", he added.
