Opposition MP Faiyaz Koya has criticized the government’s financial management, citing the largest deficit since 1992 and unnecessary debt hysteria.
He made these comments in his address on the budget debate yesterday.
He emphasizes the importance of growing the economy for debt repayment rather than fixating on its size.
Koya says that the government’s recent spendathon raises concerns about fiscal responsibility.

Koya also stated that the nation’s future hinges on policymakers striking a balance between financial stability and fostering a thriving economy.
