The National Social Protection Agency (NSPA) has responded to claims circulating on social media concerning the rental of a building for its operations.

In a statement issued, the agency confirmed that the building was leased in accordance with established procedures. NSPA rejected allegations that part of the building had been rented at a loss to the state or provided to another party without charge.

The claims, which have gained traction on social media, suggest that two floors of the four-storey building, rented for NSPA operations, were also leased to MM TV. MM TV is a newly launched channel intended to promote government initiatives.

Reports claim that Maldives Media House, which operates MM TV, and NSPA entered into a five-year rental agreement valued at MVR 34.8 million. The agreement allegedly involved renting two floors of a 1,200-square-foot office space to NSPA at a rate of MVR 580,000 per month. It is further claimed that the rent for these two floors is said to align with the cost of renting all four storeys for MM TV’s operations.

NSPA has not provided additional details regarding the agreement but reiterated its commitment to following the required protocols.
