🚨 Another rejected RTI regarding the new Hiyaa Tower elevators 👇 @hdcmaldives is taking state corruption cover ups to the next level by literally copying Marketing Director Malsha on official legal rejections. ▫️The applicant never requested any technical secrets from the elevator supplier yet HDC still blindly weaponised Article 25(ހ) (ނ)to hide the exact public expenditure. ⚠️ Maldivians will continue voting a BIG NO against @MMuizzu at every single opportunity they get. @mundhu_maldives @HDC_MD

I respect @geelaali, but this is unacceptable. Addu dialect is Maldivian language. Rather than responding in a mocking tone, the you could simply have asked @SobeAbdulla to repeat the question. In UK Parliament, cabinet ministers ask Scottish MPs to repeat their questions, sometimes more than once, when they struggle with strong Scottish accents. No one considers this disrespectful, it is a normal courtesy. Majlis exists to ensure ministers respond to questions from citizens, who are represented by their MPs. Dismissing a question by claiming not to understand it is unacceptable. The appropriate response would have been to politely ask Sobe to repeat the question more slowly, or to request that it be asked in official Dhivehi if necessary. Neither was done. Language must never be used as an excuse in Majlis to dodge legitimate questions.
