President-elect Dr. Mohamed Muizzu has requested President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih not to transfer the ownership of any state property to anyone else.

In his letter, the President-elect noted that president Solih had met at the President's Office and assured that all necessary assistance would be provided to ensure that the transition of power to the new government was carried out smoothly.

President-elect Dr. Muizzu's letter stated that he requires President Solih's assistance in certain matters, including not transferring the ownership of any state property to anyone else and not to make new investments from any state institution.

Additionally, Dr. Muizzu requested that there should be no change in the pay structure of any state institution, and no new person should be appointed to any government job or promoted to the post.
