Facing reality.......

A coup d’état is usually brought about by people who are convinced that they cannot acquire power through democratic means and / or those whose vital interests are mightily threatened without power .

Open Letter to Honourable Mujuthaz, MP

Ma. Bougain Villea
Male’.

5 July 2010

Dear Honourable Mujuthaz, MP for Hanimaadhoo Dhaairaa

It is with great alarm that I write this letter to you.

It has come to my notice through the media that the Deputy Speaker of the Majlis has allegedly instructed a certain Hoara Waheed to contact one or more members of the Anti-Corruption Commission to issue a certain statement regarding some matter of the State. It appears that a measure of intimidation was indicated in this directive.

It is most untoward that an Independent Commission may be intimidated in this fashion to subvert the course of governance and justice to further the political ambitions of any person.

As Chair of the Majlis Committee concerning the Independent Commissions, I feel you have a duty to immediately convene this committee and start an investigation into this matter.

I urge you to use all and any available resource to locate this Hoara Waheed and summon him to the Committee. He should be required to reveal everything regarding this matter to the Majlis, and he should be questioned under oath.

You will no doubt know that no person can claim the right to remain silent when questioned by the Majlis, and will have to tell the truth, under oath.

Further, members of the Anti-Corruption Commission should also be summoned to the Majlis and required to reveal all that they know of these matters, and any possible such matters in the past. If they are being intimidated and threatened in any way, they should be accorded the full protection of the State so that they may discharge their duties in accordance with the Constitution and the Law.

The hearings of the Committee with regard to these matters should be open to the public and the media. These are important events in a defining period of our nation, and all citizens have a right to know the truth regarding these matters.

If the Majlis cannot and will not act on these matters, it is time for all MPs to vacate the Majlis and hand it over to the People.

I have every faith in you that you will discharge your duties in a responsible fashion.

If MPs do not discharge these responsibilities, they will truly be creating a huge Void in the nation which will send us over the precipice and into the bottom of nothingness.

Thank you for at least reading this letter from a concerned citizen.

Ibrahim Ismail
