The incumbent cabinet on Monday has approved a string of special measures aimed at strengthening public service delivery and ensure completion of government-endorsed projects within endorsed timelines.
Cabinet formalized these decisions at its meeting held on Sunday, June 28.
Among the measures, the Cabinet resolved on fully operationalizing the government’s Dhuveli portal by the end of the week. The portal will monitor all government projects and activities: synergizing state vigilance on public interest matters. The portal will run in cohesion with the Public Investment Management System (PIMS) developed by the Ministry of Finance and Public Enterprises.
Both platforms will be updated concurrently to enable real-time monitoring of project implementation.
Moreover, the Cabinet further approved establishing a dedicated team: a splinter division, within the Ministry of Finance and Public Enterprises to identify and resolve issues impacting government-endorsed or public interest projects. Furthermore, every ministry is expected to establish a dedicated unit tasked with overseeing day-to-day monitoring and progress of its respective projects.
The Cabinet further resolved that all relevant stakeholders responsible for infrastructure projects will undertake coordinated efforts to ensure projects are completed within their scheduled timelines.
Additionally, the Cabinet agreed concentrating all necessary efforts in establishing the nationwide Raajje Transport Link (RTL) ferry network and commence services before the end of January 2027.
Beyond this, the Cabinet also decided that approvals for establishment of chemical storage facilities across the islands should only be granted for sites located at outlier locations from residential areas.
