Dr Munavvar should be made Special Envoy too

Recently Special Adviser to the President Dr Hassan Saeed said many problems with appointing Board to the Board of Directors of Maldives Tourism Development Corporation (MTDC). Many conflict of interest and lack of trust of public in the President because of appointment, Dr Hassan revealed.

This happens because there is no legal great person working inside President's Office. Main legal advice to the president is from Attorney General Dhiyana Saeed. But Dhiyana Saeed is not qualified to be Attorney General because she got promotion too fast under Gayoom government.

Now in the Board of MTDC there is the Managing Director of Yacht Tours. This is conflict of interest because Yacht Tours have to pay money to MTDC. Many problems with Yacht Tours and MTDC. Abdulla Jabir is Attorney General Dhiyana Saeed's husband. Abdulla Jabir is the Chairman of Yacht Tours.

We elected Nasheed for president because we want to reduce corruption and conflict of interest. Now the government appointments going same way as Gayoom's government. The solution to this is put a great legal person, less corrupt person, as Special Envoy to President and give desk to that person, or small office, or cubicle inside President's Office.

That person is Dr Mohamed Munavvar. He should be made Special Envoy to President too. He can work very well with Zaki because he was Zaki's close buddy during Gayoom regime. This will reduce embarrassment for government arising out of decisions Zaki make without legal background. After hard working week at President's Office Munavvar and Zaki can go to Velaavaru on weekends and have Sula Shiraz.

Special Enjoy of President visits Velaavaru

Special Enjoy of the President has visited Velaavaru resort to participate in the new year celebration.

"Dr Abdul Majeed Bari has banned all discos in Male. I am left with no choice but to celebrate new year in Velaavaru to wine, dine and sixty-nine," Special Enjoy told our reporters over a glass of Sula Shiraz.

The Special Enjoy was joined by former Attorney General, also former MDP President, Dr Mohamed Munavvar. In recent weeks Dr Munavvar has tried to patch up the soiled relations with his former MDP colleagues. He was invited to open the southern province office in Addu as a result.

Dr Munavvar was the Special Enjoy's close buddy in the cabinet of former president Gayoom who is planning to clone Faathma Fulhi to increase his own popularity and overthrow President Nasheed.
