President Yameen Abdul Gayoom has said that his government will prove that not all politicians are frauds who try to deceive the people.
The president said this while speaking at an event at Artificial Beach on Thursday night, to mark the success of Progressive Coalition in the Parliamentary Election.
He said that people voted for the Progressive Coalition in the Parliamentary Election because they believe that the coalition would facilitate development, and serve them with honesty and sincerity.
“We want to assure the people of the Maldives that leaders who will work with honesty and sincerity do exist. We want to show that not all politicians are frauds. Not all politicians try to deceive the public,” he said.
President Yameen said that good politicians are those who apologise when they do wrong.
“Politicians need people, and seek the assistance of the people. They have the courage to apologise when things go wrong. They know that people are aware and not ignorant,” he said.
President Yameen assured that he, members of his cabinet, and coalition members of the parliament will prove over the course of the next five years, that not all politicians attempt to ‘brainwash’ the people.
“Having won majority, we will show that we have a parliament that works for the people with honesty. We want to change the country’s landscape, speed up economic progress,” he said.
