Spokesperson at the President’s Office Miuvaan Mohamed has said that President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih will end the present stalemate in the People’s Majlis, the Legislative Assembly.
Miuvaan’s statement on the stalemate is thought to be in response to an earlier statement made by the Speaker of the Majlis Mohamed Nasheed, where he said on Monday that as the ongoing session of the parliament would end this month, conditions for holding a sitting before Majlis recess are not in place.
There was no business in the parliament yesterday.
According to Miuvaan, the President as head of the State and the Executive will ensure functioning of all three branches of the government.
“The President of the Republic will ensure uninterrupted functioning of the powers of the State”, Miuvaan said.
Temporary Chair of the Majlis, MP Hassan Afeef, Vilufushee Constituency, held a meeting with President Solih on Monday to discuss the stalemate.
Speaking on the meeting, Speaker Nasheed said that it was on his request that MP Afeef sat with President Solih to discuss breaking the deadlock.
Over the past two weeks, Majlis has not been able to conduct real business due to disruptions to sittings caused by protests in the Chamber among other disorders in the House.
