Cabinet endorsement under committee review
| DATE: 2010-08-04 | PRINT | Share
On July 13, President Mohamed Nasheed sent the cabinet for parliament approval, a week after reappointing 13 ministers who resigned en masse claiming that opposition MPs were “hijacking” the executive and making it impossible for the ministers to discharge their constitutional duties.
The opposition People’s Alliance (PA) which has seven seats in the parliament earlier announced it would reject the cabinet.
However, President Nasheed said parliament consent necessary for cabinet members according to the constitution did not refer to “a general vote among all the MPs.”
The government also told diplomats that the reinstated ministers could not be sacked even if the parliament vetoed them.
