Not to challenge a second term of office, if the Manifesto Goals are not achieved within 5 years: Dr. Hassan

Dr. Hassan Saeed, who had revealed that he would be campaigning in the up coming presidential elections had stated that if the goals in his manifesto is not achieved within the five years, he would not be challenging to a second term of office.

In a communal gathering held in Nasandhura, to share his manifesto with the locals, Dr. Hassan said that if he challenge for a second term of office without achieving the goals, it would be the maintaining of the same old tradition of not fulfilling the promise. Moreover, he stated that he does not see it very wise to fill more than two terms of office.

Furthermore, he emphasized on the fact that the expenditure on the Presidential Palace is way too high than the spending on a president of Maldives, and therefore he would be bringing down the sum of Mrf 172 million spent on the Palace’s budget to a lower amount, as well by limiting the number of employees as well. Into the bargain he added that the place would be highly beneficial to the locals as well.

Above all these facts, Dr. Hassan stated that the main problem the country is facing to day is the setting of family members to the high political status thereby failing to address the full responsibility. As for this matter of fact Dr. Hassan had said that he would not be giving any such positions to any of his family members throughout his office.
