MDP proposes parliament dismiss Dr Afrasheem and MMA Governor

The Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) has proposed dismissing main opposition Dhivehi Rayyithunge Party (DRP) MP Dr Afrasheem Ali from the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) and Fazeel Najeeb from his post as the Governor of Maldives Monetary Authority (MMA), reports SunFM.

MDP Parliamentary Group Leader “Reeko” Moosa Manik claimed that the pair had failed to carry out their held responsibilities.

The station quoted Moosa as saying that judges have been obstructed from conducting their work because of Dr Afrasheem, a day after the opposition-majority parliament declined the approval of Attorney General Dr Ahmed Ali Sawad.
