Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) MP Ahmed Hamza has claimed the constitution of the Maldives gives too many powers to parliamentarians, and accused them of ”demolishing” it.
MP Hamza said the constitution narrowed both presidential power and the power of the judiciary in favour of parliament.
”The powers are split into three so one power can compel another to act with responsibility,” MP Hamza said, ”but today we are seeing something different – we see the parliamentarians trying to take over the presidential powers.”
MP Hamza said the constitution very clearly stated the responsibilities of each power.
