Despite the unexplained cancellation of parliamentary sittings throughout the past week, a sitting has been scheduled to take place this Tuesday.
The first item on the session's agenda is to refer the President's nomination for the Maldives' Permanent Representative to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) to a standing committee for review and recommendation.
Furthermore, the agenda includes a report detailing the Public Accounts Committee's findings following their review of an audit conducted on Fenaka Corporation regarding the previous administration.
Among the pending items on the agenda is a resolution submitted by Kendhoo MP Mauroof Zakir regarding the dismissal of employees on political grounds. The resolution highlights growing concerns over politically motivated terminations.
According to the parliamentary rules of procedure, sittings are scheduled to be held every Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. However, sittings were canceled last week without any stated reason, drawing concern from several members. The lawmakers emphasized that it is their fundamental responsibility to ensure that parliamentary sittings are conducted in accordance with the regulations and that the work of the people continues without interruption.
