Maumoon: Three powers have combined, one voice is heard

President of PPM, Maumoon Abdul Gayoom has said that the three powers of democracy have combined and they are all running the same voice.

The former President of the Maldives said that PPM was formed run the three powers of democracy, the Government, Parliament and Judiciary as independent bodies.

Maumoon said that although reducing debt is a goal of PPM, it is not happening and the foreign influence in the country is growing stronger. He said that the fight against corruption is not being seen and when the largest act of corruption, the MMPRC Corruption took place, relevant institutes were unaware.

He said that although some were dismissed from their positions on corruption charges, they were re-appointed to higher positions later on. And while they are not working to make the Government a responsible entity, they are not working for equality either.

President Maumoon said that he tried hard to amend the things that went wrong but he was not given the opportunity to do so. He said that people trying to correct things are being labeled as “MDP people” or people against the government.
