No-confidence motion against Saeed on Parliament agenda
The no-confidence motion filed by the MDP against Economic Minister Mohamed Saeed in August is on the agenda for Wednesday's Parliament sitting, with the General Committee having earlier decided to give the minister one hour to respond to the allegations. The motion, signed by 13 MDP MPs, accuses Saeed of neglecting constitutional duties, cites rising black-market dollar rates and stalled economic projects, and objects to SEZ Act amendments and the Maldives Pearl Residence programme.
