Government suggests amendments to Anti-Corruption Act, Police Act, HRCM Act and Audit Act

The government has proposed amendments to four key laws, claiming articles in the acts contravened provisions in the current constitution.
The amendments submitted to the People’s Majlis includes the Anti- Corruption Act, the Human Rights Commission of the Maldives Act, the Police Act, and the Audit Act. The government did not reveal details of the amendments.
The government has previously submitted amendments to the Immigration Act, and the Protection of Child Rights Act on Tuesday.
These laws were enacted under the old constitution and are to be amended to ensure rights guaranteed in the constitution are enshrined in old laws.
