President Muizzu urges People's Majlis to pass key bills even if recess is suspended

President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu has stated that even if the People’s Majlis does not go on recess for this term, bills will still be passed. The President made the remarks during a press conference at the President’s Office on Monday. He said the government has submitted bills regarding the determination and implementation of capital punishment, the protection of the right to prayer and reputation, the Immigration Bill of the Republic of Maldives, and the Real Estate Business Bill to the People’s Majlis. President Muizzu requested that these bills be passed even if the recess of the Majlis is suspended or additional time is granted. He expressed confidence that lawmakers would proceed accordingly. However, the President's comments on how the work of the Majlis would be concluded in a system where the three powers are separated have drawn public criticism.
