President Mohamed Nasheed has proposed Judicature Bill and Broadcasting Bill to the People’s Majlis.
Judicature Bill specifies the division of Courts, hierarchy of the Courts and the jurisdictions of the Courts as well as matters concerning the administration of the Courts.
Purposes of the Broadcasting Bill include facilitating the creation of a commission to oversee policy-making and regulation of the industry, and specify its roles and responsibilities. The Bill also states the procedures for issuing broadcast licence.
