Economic Minister Mohamed Saeed defended the government’s push to expand ATMs across the Maldives, stressing that basic services like banking and ID printing should not be dismissed as “ordinary.”
ATM and ID card services are now available in every inhabited island of V. Atoll. He stressed that providing basic services like banking and ID printing should not be dismissed as “ordinary.”
He hit back at the opposition for mocking these efforts. Saeed argued that MDP governments had failed to deliver, claiming they “chose the easy way” and left no lasting achievements.
He recalled the party’s past internal quarrels and said not a single fish factory or bridge pillar was completed under their rule.
Concluding his remarks, Saeed promised rapid progress. “We will still open more ATMs,” he said.
