Yameen Criticizes Government's Role in Fisheries: Claims Officials Hold Biggest Stake

Former President Abdulla Yameen has criticized the current government's involvement in the fisheries sector, stating that officials hold the largest share in the industry. Yameen emphasized that while the government encourages investment in fisheries, the benefits are disproportionately enjoyed by those in power. He argued that such practices prevent ordinary citizens from reaping the rewards of their investments. Yameen also highlighted the need for transparency and fairness, suggesting that the government should ensure that opportunities are equally accessible to all. He further accused the government of mismanaging resources and failing to support local fishermen adequately. Yameen's remarks have sparked a debate on the role of governance in shaping the fisheries sector and its impact on the economy.
