Sunday, July 8th, 2007

People’s Special Majlis meeting to be today would be live webcasted by the Majlis Secretariat.

People’s Majlis Secretariat reveals that Majlis meetings would be live webcasted via Internet and those who want to see the meetings or hear them should visit www.majlis.gov.mv. Majlis secretariat also says that TVM would be sending the recordings of the meetings of People’s Majlis and Speicial Majlis from today onwards, after 11 pm of every night of a day a meeting is held.

Last Thursday, Information Minister Mohamed Nasheed said that recording of the Majlis meetings would be sent via TV and Radio under the broadcasting regulations, after cutting the illicit words spoken by the members. He said that People’s Special Majlis speaker Gasim Ibrahim in the letter sent to the information has requested to send the Majlis meeting recordings under set principles.

Information Minister said that VOM and TVM have no technical difficulty in sending the Majlis meetings uncensored, but the problem is that it interferes with two policies of the broadcasting regulations compiled on 28th March.

One policy of it was the content code of broad casting while the other policy was classification code and these were two regulations which the private parties who broadcast also have to obey. Minister said that some spoken words by members in meetings cannot be broadcasted by any parties.

The first agenda item of today is bringing changes to the clause 8 pf the regulations of the people’s special Majlis while the second item on agenda is bringing changes to the clause 64, 93, 101 and 102 of the constitution, proposed by North Huvadhu Atoll Member Adnan Haleem.
