Muizz resigns revealing the truth about the not so independent Presidential commission

The truth comes out about the commission that President Nasheed established by decree to investigate former government officials on corruption accusations.
Former President Maumoon and younger brother with members elected to the new Parliament representing their respective parties have been under constant harassment in the name of investigation.
Today one of the appointed members Muizz Adnan resigned and revealed that the Commission is indeed on a witch-hunt and has engaged in fraudulent activities in their quest to get hand picked victims of the previous regimes. He also revealed that the President and his Office constantly interfered with the work of the Commission. Although the President established the Commission by decree he maintained it is independent.
One of the Political figures under investigation was President’s younger brother’s close friend and Businessman Abdulla Jabir. It emerged that yesterday he joined President Nasheed’s Party and the President’s office immediately ordered to cease all investigations that have been carried out against Jabir.
Muizz maintained that other hypocrisies of the Commissions are common, including the President’s office ordering them not to publicise some activities of the Commission that are important for the Public to know.
Ruling by decree is something this government is resorting to in order to have a permanent hold on the state coffers, like a sacred cow in and beyond this term of office. Presidential Commission or the battle for Province with army of political appointees that impede democracy has changed the MDP and Nasheed’s rule to a dictatorship.
