In a move to alleviate financial burdens on households, President Muizzu has declared the waiver of penalties on overdue water and electricity bills. This decision aims to provide relief to residential households grappling with long-standing non-payment of utility bills.
President Muizzu emphasized that this initiative is part of ongoing efforts to improve the financial well-being of citizens. He has instructed relevant utility companies to implement the waiver promptly and provide feasible payment options for outstanding bills.
Furthermore, in anticipation of Ramadan, the President has directed that electricity and water bills remain consistent during the holy month. This decision follows concerns raised by residents about escalated bills during Ramadan, demonstrating the government's responsiveness to citizen feedback.
President Muizzu's proactive approach underscores the administration's commitment to supporting households and ensuring equitable access to essential services, particularly during challenging times.
