Constitution to be republished with new amendments

The current Constitution of the Republic of Maldives was published eight years ago during the Presidency of Maumonn Abdul Gayoom ratified of 7 August 2008.

Constitution is the body of fundamental principles and established precedents to which the Maldives acknowledged to be governed. The current Constitution in effect contains 14 Chapters with a total of 301 Articles.

But the amendments have been made to the Constitution that took three years to be formed. And so the eight year old Constitution needs to be republished with the new amendments.

Attorney General’s (AG) Office said on Monday that changes have been brought to the Constitution since it was published and so they are seeking a contractor to reprint and publish the Constitution as per their instruction.

The AG Office said that interested parties are invited on 4 August 2016 at 11 a.m. for the information session and submit an estimate before 9 August, 11 a.m. to the AG Office.
