When salaries and
allowances haven’t been finalized under the new constitution, government cars
are being used against the law.
In the amended constitution the salaries and
allowances of the ministers have not been decided upon and this matter is now
in high court, one more thing the people of this small nation are worried
about. The biggest of their concerns are about what they see, the ministers
still using their government given cars, even when their salaries and
allowances haven’t been finalized on.
This yet again proves the disability of Gayoom
as president and Aishath Azima
Shakoor as his attorney general.
When the people’s special majilis drafted and
amended the now constitution, attorney general Azima
had played an important role in directing it. She was one who played a
significant and important role in all the amendments. And every one would have
heard that also in the last phases of amending the constitution, Azima had been the head of comities and done so much work and
due to this work the ratification of the constitution even had to face some
delays.
But in all these phases and during all these
work had not she ever considered about the salaries and allowances of the
ministers; had she not have seen this coming? The members of the comities had
arranged their meetings in some resort as well, for more efficiency. So was it
some ‘water’ Azima mistakenly had from this resorts
that made her completely forget about ministers salaries and allowances. If Azima had been in her full senses then, maybe she would
have seen this loop hole and we would have to see the case in high court.
So it is compulsory that the drinks and waters
these members of the comities and Azima had from the
resort be checked and investigated by the high court, before further progress
of the case.
