Unable to carry out mandate with budgetary shortcomings: HRCM

Human Rights Commission of Maldives (HRCM) on Saturday, noted that the budget proposed by the Ministry of Finance from the 2021 state budget would hinder the watchdog's ability to carry out its mandate.

During a meeting tabled by the Parliament's Budget Committee, HRCM revealed that it had previously requested for MVR 30 million for the following year as opposed to the MVR 24 million proposed by the state.
