Letter on recalling elected MPs

Dear Editor,
Should we have the right to recall Majlis Members? It can be done in other democracies, why not in the Maldives?
I believe it is time we change the electoral law to force MPs to seek votes of confidence through a constituency recall mechanism if they have been found guilty of unacceptable behaviour.
In the light of current political chaos and other ongoing outrages committed by Majlis Members, we should demand the right for voters to be given the power to sack MPs.
