No will to resolve endorsement dispute, says Deputy Speaker

Neither of the major political parties wish to resolve their disputes over the endorsement of cabinet ministers, Miadhu reported Deputy Speaker Mohamed Nazim as saying.
“I think there is nothing obscure in this. We can move forward, I believe we can move forward with the cabinet endorsement. The reality of the matter is that some are worried over the votes they might get,” said Nazim, also an MP of the minority opposition party People’s Alliance (PA).
“All the parties have taken their positions to hinder the working of the Majlis, unless the Majlis carries out the matter as they want.”
Parliament was cancelled again yesterday in an ongoing dispute over whether to endorse ministers individually or collectively.
