The Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) Parliamentary Group has called on the President to remove the Governor of the Maldives Monetary Authority (MMA) Fazeel Najeeb from his position, accusing him of irresponsibility and “repeatedly failing to fulfill his legal obligations”.
In a statement, the Party said that the MMA Governor was legally required to not pursue any work other than that required of his role in the MMA.
”However because he is currently studying he spends most of the time out of the country,” said the MDP in a statement. ”Although the laws on MMA obligate the Governor to council the President on the financial condition of the country, the instruction and council is not being given to the president.”
The party claimed that Fazeel was not cooperating with the government to find a solution for the difficulty in bringing foreign currency to the country.
