A new nominee of former President Mohamed Nasheed has been proposed for the Commission of National Inquiry (CNI) established to probe the events leading up to and following the transfer of power on February 7. However, neither the government nor the opposition Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) has revealed the identity of the nominee.
Nasheed’s new nomination to the CNI came after the government had rejected Lieutenant Colonel Zubair Ahmed Manik’s of the Maldives National Defence Force (MNDF) nomination last Friday.
Government had claimed that Zubair had been rejected as he did not meet the education criteria as per the prior agreement with MDP.
As the deadline given to the former President to nominate a member to the CNI ends next Thursday, the government had rejected all nominations made by Nasheed thus far.
The former President’s nominees include Machchangoalhi-north constituency MP Mariya Ahmed Didi, former Housing Minister of the previous administration Mohamed Aslam, former Youth Minister Hassan Latheef, former Education Minister Shifa Mohamed, former member of the Judicial Service Commission Aishath Velezeenee and former board member of the Maldives Airports Company Limited (MACL) Ibrahim Saleem.
In addition to holding a degree, the criteria specified by the government states that the person to be placed in the Commission by Nasheed must be a person who has been away from the political scene for a period of two years, must also be a person who has not taken a specific stand in relation to the regime change, must be unprejudiced and generally acceptable to the public.
