Speaking on the Supreme Court’s verdict on the endorsement of cabinet by the People’s Majlis in this week’s radio address, President Mohamed Nasheed has said that he would follow the Supreme Court’s ruling.
“When the Supreme Court rules that cabinet ministers cannot remain in office without the approval [of the People’s Majlis], it is compulsory for the President to follow that ruling”, President Nasheed said.
Supreme Court on Thursday ruled in support of the opposition’s case demanding the removal of cabinet ministers who did not receive the parliament approval.
Stressing that a Supreme Court independence of government influence was now established in the Maldives, the President said this was a great achievement for the democratic process of the country.
