Opposition member Jiosefa Dulakiverata has told parliament that there are some procedures that have to be followed while dealing with the compensation of leases.
He said this after Minister for Industry Trade and Tourism Faiyaz Koya told the parliament that four foreshore leases have been administered and issued to provide the highest benefit to the traditional fishing rights.
Koya said that foreshore development provides subsequent benefits to the qoliqoli resource ownership such as compensation, partnership with investors and employment.
Dulakiverata said that the compensation should be determined by a qualified person.
