Speaking at the function, the President rhetorically asked who would be the most loyal to the country at times of crisis. Continuing in this regard, the President reiterated that it was the duty and obligation of the Head of State to safeguard the country and its interests in all situations. President Yameen further reassured that he would never let the country be caused any damage.
In his speech, President Yameen highlighted that ensuring the supremacy of the Maldivian Constitution was an obligation of every State institution, including the Supreme Court.
