The people of Guraidhoo have voiced strong confidence in President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu’s leadership, praising his administration for resolving one of the most persistent challenges faced by Maldivian fishermen: delays in payment for their catch.
Speaking at a community gathering held in Guraidhoo, Member of Parliament for the constituency, Hanaan Mohamed Rasheed, declared that the days when fishermen anxiously waited for overdue payments are now behind them. “When this government came to power, one of the most talked-about issues was non-payment to fishermen. Today, that conversation no longer exists because President Muizzu delivered a solution” he affirmed.
Hanaan emphasized that President Muizzu is a leader who works hand in hand with the people, listens to their concerns, and fulfills his promises. He described the President’s approach as one that lifts the Maldivian economy without discrimination, ensuring that every island community feels the benefits of national progress.
Reflecting on the election period, Hanaan reminded residents that he had pledged this government would not disappoint them — a pledge now visible through rapid development and transformative changes. He highlighted that Kolhumadulu Atoll, once left behind in terms of national development, is now reclaiming its rightful place at the forefront of progress under President Muizzu’s leadership.
“Thaa Atoll was almost forgotten in past years. It was President Muizzu who reversed that sad reality and gave new hope. Today, the true colors of development are shining here,” Hanaan said, extending gratitude to the President on behalf of the island’s fishermen.
Guraidhoo, home to a significant fishing community with modern vessels, stands as a symbol of this change. Fishermen now receive their payments on time, restoring trust and confidence in the fishing industry — a cornerstone of Maldivian life and economy.
Hanaan concluded by reaffirming that President Muizzu has fully honored his commitments to fishermen, bringing long-awaited relief and ensuring that communities such as Guraidhoo remain central in the country’s development journey.
