Minister Saeed's failure to address six points raised by MDP, opting instead for irrelevant rhetoric, is the primary reason for his loss of confidence: Mauroof
A no-confidence motion against Minister of Economic Development, Transport, and Trade Mohamed Saeed, signed by 13 MDP members, was debated and rejected at a People's Majlis sitting on Wednesday, with 10 votes in favour and 54 against.
