Maldives needs an Anna Hazare- Mustafa

Thimarafushi MP, Mohamed Mustafa has said that Maldives need an Anna Hazare to fight the malady of corruption so prevalent in the society.

“There are many rats drenched in corruption in this country. We will start a campaign within the Peoples’ Majlis and other that to catch these rats,” speaking at the Bodufenda Programme telecasted by the local television channel, VTV, MP Mustafa said.

Mustafa said that he will never support any Minister who does not follow the laws passed in the Majlis. He said that he will support to take a no-confidence vote against such a minister. “Especially if this law is very related to the pulse of the people,” he said.

In view of the issue of the Committee allowance of the MPs, Mustafa said that if even 10 percent of the members from his constituency requests him not to take the allowance he would opt to not to take it.

“However the public have shown no concern over this matter. Only a selected few who want to achieve a political motive are only showing concern,” he said.

“I am not one who will submit to anything that the top officials of the government call to. Rather I would submit to the requests of the most poverty stricken people of my constituency.  I am at the service of my people. I will listen to them and if they tell me not to take it then I would do as they please,” he said.
