Resolution to oust Judicial Service Commission chair illegal – President

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

President’s Office has said that the resolution passed by the High Court judges to out High Court’s representative at the Judicial Service Commission is contrary to the Constitution’s article 165 and that it is unacceptable ina liberal democracy,

The press release issued by the President’s Office also said that the act could tarnish the public image of the Judiciary.

President Nasheed had also asked the Department of Judicial Administration to send the President a name, who would replace Abdul Ghanee Mohamed, who they wish should represent Maldives during those three visits.

  1. President Nasheed trying to interfere in judiciary is not a news in Maldives anymore, where government backed mobs and thuggery with cronies and henchmen are a way of life for the regime under the current president.

    Omar Hassan Ahmad al-Bashir of Sudan or Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran wouldn’t have dared the kind of dirty politics President Nasheed has mastered and keeps practicing.

    I dare you publish this comment. Here I wrote of the President who said that he would show his true color and his ruthlessness to people who are not from his own party.

  4. Because he is the head of state who is responsible for overall running of all the three powers of the government. He is at the top of the executive branch of the government and hence, he could comment on anything that takes place in the Maldives — he is the president of Maldives.
