Several laws promised in Agenda-19 already a reality: President Nasheed

Speaker of Parliament President Nasheed has stated that the majority of the laws MDP vowed to enact during their parliamentary campaign have been approved by the parliament.

President Nasheed stated this in a tweet referring to the Transitional Justice bill that was earlier ratified by the President. The Transitional Justice bill is designed to investigate cases from the first day of President Ameen’s administration to the end of President Yameen’s administration.

According to the government, under the Transitional Justice Act, if an individual’s fundamental human rights have been violated by a state agency or by an officer of the agency the case can be investigated, and the individual or the state will be liable to pay damages to the individual that was wronged.

President Nasheed mentioned in his tweet that the majority of the pledges under the Agenda-19 targeting justice have been achieved with the ratification of the Transitional Justice act by the President. President Nasheed also thanked and congratulated President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih, members of the parliament, Attorney General Ibrahim Riffath, and the employees of the parliament and the AG office.
