Malé, Maldives – The former Attorney General of Maldives Niyaz Ibrahim, last night, said that the biggest problem faced by Maldives is electing unqualified members to the parliament.
Speaking to CNM, Niyaz said that the Maldives Parliament needs to improve drastically and the biggest challenge to this are the incompetent members in office.
Adding that he knows the remarks will receive much criticism, Niyaz said that he will say what needs to be said.
The root cause of all this is the election of people who do not have the brain power to comprehend the responsibilities of the parliament members and the role of the government, who will sellout for a meager amount of money.
