Issue lies in economic management, not Governor: MDP

Opposition Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) members of parliament criticized the government's move to dismiss Maldives Monetary Authority (MMA) Governor Ali Hashim, arguing that the decision attempts to shift blame for the country's economic management issues on the Governor.

During the parliamentary debate on recommending Governor Hashim's removal to President Dr Mohamed Muizzu, MDP Parliamentary Group Leader and South Hithadhoo South MP Ibrahim Nazil described the move a "grim day" in Maldives' constitution's history.
