a fed up cabinet

Someone once said to me "Maldives? Aren't they those sleepy little islands in the middle of the Indian Ocean...?” I think we've far out grown the 'sleepy-island scene'. I mean if we aren't holding cabinet meeting underwater, our cabinet staging mass resignation.

Let’s recap shall we? Through the amendments to the Public Finance Act the opposition MPs were trying to give parliament the right to veto government plans; these included key privatisations and changes to the policy on loans.

Hmm do you hear that? It sound like a bell is ringing "UNCONSTITUTIONAL"!

I don't really blame Anni and his ministers. DRP and their opposition bloc which control the majority in the Majlis, with this power they will not allow the government to make any headway. They will just block them at every step of the way.

It took us 30 years to overthrow a tyrant dictator; I wonder how long it will take us to reform the Majlis.
