Government to withdraw no-confidence against MMA Governor
21 Aug 2011, 5:59 PM
The government will withdraw a no-confidence motion against Maldives Monetary Authority (MMA) Governor Fazeel Najeeb, President Mohamed Nasheed announced last night.
Briefing press about a meeting with opposition Dhivehi Rayyithunge Party (DRP) Leader Ahmed Thasmeen, President Nasheed said that he did not believe the motion should be carried forward at a time when the government had proposed sweeping economic reforms.
“In my view, it should not be brought to the floor,” he said. “I will inform the Speaker of Parliament in a letter [Sunday] to this effect. I feel that we will need Fazeel Najeeb’s experience at a time when we are bringing major changes to the government’s economic and fiscal policy and we should acknowledge the work that he has done.”
He added that the government believed it could “go forward” with Fazeel Najeeb as the governor of MMA.
