Hussein Fiyaz Moosa, the CEO of “Adhadhu” newspaper, has been included in the list of people receiving flats under the “Gedhoruverin” scheme. From the 4,000 flats that were started during former President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih’s administration, 1,820 people have been determined to meet the criteria after reviewing the previously announced list. Of these, 1,423 people qualify for three-bedroom flats, while 397 people qualify for two-bedroom flats. Fiyaz is among those who will receive a flat.
Fiyaz’s “Adhadhu” newspaper is known for being critical of President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu’s government and frequently criticizes the administration. Fiyaz himself is known for making harsh criticisms against President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu on social media. The flat list has determined that 2,695 people’s applications did not meet the criteria. Additionally, 424 people have been removed from the list of flat recipients due to changes in their points. The list includes explanations for why certain applicants did not meet the criteria.
Opposition parties claim that the current government has made significant changes to the flat list released by the previous administration and has given flats to people favored by the government. However, government supporters argue that people like Fiyaz receiving flats is strong evidence that the current government has not influenced the flat list. President Dr. Muizzu stated last night that there would not be even a slight influence in releasing the list of flat recipients under the “Gedhoruverin” scheme and that this is the most fair list released so far.
Fiyaz was previously a prominent journalist. He began his journalism career in 2000 with “Miadhu” newspaper. He later worked for “Aafathis” and “Haveeru” newspapers. Fiyaz gained the most prominence at Raajje TV. During Solih’s administration, Fiyaz also served as the Information Commissioner.
