Hithadhoo South Constituency MP Ali Nizar has called on Addu citizens not to use the water supply that is to be provided by Fenaka Corporation to Addu City.
The Parliamentarian made the appeal in a Facebook post, lamenting the high prices taken by Fenaka in service provision.
MP Nizar said MVR 65 per ton is to be charged from every household, while MVR 100 per ton will be charged for business.
He compared the prices to Male’, noting that in Male’, MVR 22 is charge for usage of one ton of water. He added there was no reason for price differences between the two cities.
Based on the current readings, a café in the city will have to spend MVR 18,000 per month just on water. MP Nizar added this was a significant bar for local business and urged to boycott the service.
