Attorney General unveils 207-bill legislative agenda
06 Mar 2014, 4:22 PM
Attorney General (AG) Mohamed Anil unveiled a 207-bill legislative agenda last night for the current administration’s five-year presidential term.
Speaking at a ceremony held in Nasandhuraa Palace Hotel to launch the AG Offices’ strategic plan along with the legislative agenda, Anil said the the agenda was comprised of 98 new bills and 109 amendments to existing laws.
Anil observed, however, that bills should originate from parliament instead of the executive in “a perfect presidential system” and criticised the People’s Majlis for its lack of initiative.
“[Submitting bills] should be done by the Majlis as well. But we don’t see that spirit in the Maldives,” he said.
