The Maldives Parliament rescheduled the no-confidence motion against Attorney General Ibrahim Riffath for the 5 Jun 2023 sitting after he chose to respond in writing rather than appear in person. Speaker Mohamed Nasheed proposed seeking the Supreme Court's advisory opinion to resolve the procedural impasse, but under Article 95 of the Constitution that step was not immediately actionable.
One outlet so far Only Maldives Republic has reported this among the sources we monitor. A gap in what we monitor, not proof that others did not report it.
in these kinds of matters, I have to seek advice… I want the Supreme Court to decide on these kinds of legal issues.
Nothing to compare yet. If another monitored source reports it, its headline appears beside this one.
The decision comes after the Attorney General sent a letter to the Parliament Speaker Mohamed Nasheed, stating his intention to provide a detailed response to the motion during a parliament sitting. ... the Parliament scheduled the motion for tomorrow’s sitting.
