MP Mohamed Nasheed, who recently resigned as Parliament Speaker, said on Tuesday that Finance Minister Ibrahim Ameer had committed a crime by failing to attend the Parliament to present the 2024 state budget within the legal time frame, and should therefore be prosecuted.
Ameer had been instructed to present the budget on October 31, but decided against attending the Parliament, after Attorney General Ibrahim Riffath opinioned that the legislative body could not conduct any other work until it makes a decision on the no-confidence motion that had been submitted against Nasheed at the time.
