MDP and Parliament SG clash over committee formation

The parliament secretariat has sent a letter to the Maldivian Democratic Party's (MDP) parliamentary group expressing its disagreement with the ruling party's stance on the delays in forming standing committees.

The works of all parliament committees were put on pause earlier on May 22, after 13 members from the ruling party resigned. Following the members’ exit from MDP, parliament Speaker Mohamed Nasheed had declared that standing committees will be formed after discussing with the parties represented in the parliament.
