The parliament has today approved a Financial Bill including an amendment which declares that government can only lease a state asset or could borrow money from a foreign country under specific legislation approved by parliament.
The bill was approved 41 in favour to 33 against out of 75 members present.
Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) MP Mohamed ‘Colonel’ Nasheed said he regretted the bill had been passed and that he was “very concerned” over its approval.
”All the services that MDP has planned to provide for the people will be disrupted according to this bill,” said Nasheed.
