So, My opinion is that the executive branch of govt shud not be interfering with the legislative branch by attempting to dismiss MPs. Even under the previous constitution, the PRESIDENT DID NOT HAVE POWERS OF DISMISSAL OF MPs.HE WAS ALLOWED TO APPOINT. But in the past Gayoom appointed and dismimissed 'his' MPs whenever he wanted.That was not constitutional. But then Gayoom was not only President but also the Supreme Justice of the country and therefore was the final authority concerning interpretation of the constitution. Anyway, let us see what the court says when Prez Anni dismisses the MPs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620041777082716757.post-75418326850410002632008-11-06T01:40:00.000-08:002008-11-06T01:40:00.000-08:00I voted for Anni to bring about democracy.

Therefore i argue that the new president should dismiss the presidential appointees which he has the power to do, and keep the seats vacant until the Majlis reconvene under the new constitution. This is justified by the 6 months the constitution grants for reelection of a vacant seat since the Majlis will reconvene without the presidential appointees nest February.<BR/><BR/>I call the bloggers to advocate and call to the right thing to be done.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07230458175122794906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620041777082716757.post-31612006531723372652008-11-05T19:44:00.000-08:002008-11-05T19:44:00.000-08:00Its about gaining the majority in the parliament. ...Its about gaining the majority in the parliament. DRP will campaign against replacing the current 8 unelected members so they can pass bill such as the current 'former presidents' incentives' bill without a glitch. MDP will want to change the 8 members so DRPs majority will no longer be there.<BR/>I see no reason why Anni cant change the his parliament members.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620041777082716757.post-28232196594542218422008-11-05T11:48:00.000-08:002008-11-05T11:48:00.000-08:00The members are appointed by the President implyin...The members are appointed by the President implying the incumbent President. The members can be changed by the incumbent President and it has been done often enough in the past. After being sworn in, the incumbent President would be HE Mohamed Nasheed. therefore the members representing the President would be and should be representing Mohamed Nasheed. As such, he should and must replace the current members.<BR/><BR/>So the question can the members appointed by the outgoing President be replaced by the incoming President can certainly be answered in the affirmative. YES<BR/><BR/>Whether this is ethically right or not is another matterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5620041777082716757.post-42282606324122255252008-11-05T10:14:00.000-08:002008-11-05T10:14:00.000-08:00And the third question is: Anni ves valu dhoroashi...And the third question is: Anni ves valu dhoroashin menbarun vadhdhaane tha?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
