An Evaluation of the Parliament of Maldives 3 PARLIAMENT WATCH

1) Introduction

Parliament Watch: An Evaluation of the Parliament of Maldives report is produced by Transparency Maldives under the Parliament Watch project funded by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). The time frame under evaluation is the year 2010.

This report contains two main sections. The first section of the report summarizes key events including attendance of MPs, details of legislation submitted, rejected and passed in the three sessions of Parliament. The voting record of all MPs for all votes taken in the Parliament in the year 2010 is also included in the evaluation report.

The second section of the report is a survey based on the Inter Parliamentary Union’s (IPU) parliamentary assessment framework, developed in 2008. Institutions in many countries have utilized the IPU framework to evaluate the functions and processes of their respective parliaments. A total of 22 persons participated in the evaluation, including 15 Members of Parliament (MPs) and seven professionals in the media, civil society and legal sectors. Additional information contained in this report is derived from publications made public by the Parliament and information provided to Transparency Maldives upon request.

The aim of producing this report is to increase Parliamentary effectiveness, transparency and accountability and promote citizen participation in Parliamentary processes. This report will identify the strengths and weaknesses of the Parliament and provide an insight into the general functioning of the Parliament, its committees, transparency and accessibility mechanisms. Transparency Maldives hopes that this report is a valuable advocacy tool for the Parliament Secretariat, political parties, individual MPs, media and civil society to address the identified weaknesses and improve upon the strengths.

Transparency Maldives acknowledges the support and cooperation of MPs, journalists, NGO persons, lawyers and Parliament Secretariat in the evaluation of this report.

2) Parliament Watch

Transparency Maldives conducted the Parliament Watch project from March 2010 to March 2011 in partnership with local NGO Maldivian Democracy Network (MDN). Though the Parliament Watch project is jointly implemented, this report is produced solely by Transparency Maldives.

The aim of the Parliament Watch project is to make the Parliament accountable through increased and effective monitoring of the legislative processes and routine workings of the Parliament as well as to lobby for specific changes in bills relating to governance and human rights. Though advocacy to amend bills was a joint effort of both Transparency Maldives and MDN, Transparency Maldives focused mostly on governance related bills whereas MDN focused on bills relating to human rights.

Transparency Maldives advocated for changes to most of the 32 bills passed by Parliament in the year 2010, focusing extensively on Decentralization Act, Local Council Elections Act, Right to Information Bill, Political Party Bill and Maldives Broadcasting Corporation Act.

3) The Inter-Parliamentary Union

The IPU is the international organization of Parliaments established in 1889. The IPU functions as the focal point for worldwide parliamentary dialogue and works for peace and cooperation among peoples and for the establishment of representative democracy. The IPU has 154 members and eight associate members, including the Maldives. IPU is based in Geneva, Switzerland.

The parliamentary self-assessment tool kit was produced by the IPU in 2008. The assessment kit is drawn mainly from the Democracy Assessment methodology of the International Institute of Democracy and Electoral Assistance (IIDEA). The purpose of the IPU framework is to assist Parliaments and other institutions in evaluating Parliaments against widely accepted criteria for democratic parliaments.

IPU works with UN bodies and regional and global institutions including governmental and non-governmental organizations. The IPU is primarily financed through its members from public funds.

3.1 The IPU evaluation framework

The IPU parliamentary assessment framework consists of a survey questionnaire focused on six main areas. Each of the six main areas or categories covers one aspect of a democratic parliament. The six main areas under the evaluation are:

1. The representativeness of the parliament; 2. Parliamentary oversight over the executive; 3. Parliament’s legislative capacity; 4. Transparency and accessibility of the parliament; 5. Accountability of the parliament; and 6. Parliament’s involvement in international policy.

Each of the 48 questionsrequires participants to make a subjective judgment on a rating scale from one to five, where one represents the minimum score and five represents the maximum. Transparency Maldives averaged the scores of the 22 participants for each of the six dimensions, and converted the scores to percentages for further simplification and better understanding.

The respondents consisted of 15 MPs, three journalists who cover the Parliament, Deputy Solicitor General, a former Attorney General and two members from civil society organizations. Of the 15 MPs, seven are from the main opposition Dhivehi Rayyithunge Party (DRP) and four from the ruling Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP). Two MPs from Jumhooree Party (JP) and one MP from People’s Alliance (PA) as well as an independent MP took part in the survey

4) The Parliament of Maldives

As per the Constitution of Maldives, the Maldivian Parliament is a unicameral legislature. Extensive powers are granted to the Parliament in Maldives’ presidential system of governance. Chapter three, Article 70 of the Constitution defines the role of the Parliament as:

• Amendment of the Constitution of Maldives according to the Constitution; • Enactment of legislation, amendment or repeal of laws; • Holding the executive to account; • Approval of the annual budget and supplementary budget; • Oversight of independent commissions and offices; • Holding public referendums on issues of public interest; and • Other duties specified in the Constitution of Maldives.

Tabulated below is the composition of the Parliament at the time of writing of this report. Since there are no laws or procedures prohibiting MPs from crossing the floor, the initial composition of the Parliament has changed since the 17th Parliament of Maldives was sworn in following the Parliamentary Elections in May 2009.

Party Affiliation Initial Current

Dhivehi Rayyithunge Party (DRP) 28 27

Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) 26 32

Independent 13 8

People’s Alliance (PA) 7 7

Dhivehi Qaumee Party (DQP) 2 1

Jumhooree Party (JP) 1 2

The opposition, is formed by an alliance between DRP and PA and holds the majority in the Parliament. The ruling MDP initially had 26 MPs, but now consists 32 due to cross overs of MPs from other parties as well as those MPs elected as independent candidates.

4.1) The 17th Parliament in numbers

The Parliament of Maldives convened in three sessions in the year 2010. A total of 52 bills were presented to the Parliament floor. Works on 42 bills were completed in the year 2010.

4.1.1) The first session of the Parliament at a glance

The first session of Parliament lasted from 1st March to 4th May 2010. The Parliament held 28 sittings that added up to 109 hours and 39 minutes. On average, the Parliament spent three hours and 55 minutes per sitting. A total of five sittings were disrupted and discontinued.

The Auditor General was removed via a vote of no confidence on 29th March 2010. At the time of publishing of this report, an Auditor General has not been re-appointed. On 28th April, the Finance Committee of Parliament recommended to provide subsidies worth MVR 4 million to media organizations. 50% of the total amount of subsidies was handed out to VTV and DhiTV. Four radios received 35% while four daily newspapers received 15%.

The Decentralization Act and Local Council Elections Act paved way for the introduction of a

decentralized system of governance. The Maldives Broadcasting Corporation Act aimed to free the state TV and radio from political influence. Maldives Broadcasting Corporation (MBC) is currently at court to obtain the assets and staff of the state TV and radio, which the President says is functioning under a company formed through a presidential decree and hence, do not fall under the Maldives Broadcasting Corporation Act. The Tax Administration Act is an important legislation that needs to be in force prior to introduction of a tax regime as planned by the authorities.

4.1.2) The second session of the Parliament at a glance

The second session of Parliament lasted from 7th June to 30th August. Thirty six Parliamentary sittings added up to 97 hours and 23 minutes. Two hours and 42 minutes were spent per sitting on average. Eight sittings of Parliament, or 22 % of the sessions, were cancelled due to disruptions. The disruptions in Parliament were a direct result of the political turmoil that ensued towards the end of the interim period specified in the Constitution of Maldives, aggravated due to an MP being held in the presidential retreat island against his will and due to corruption allegations against MPs.

A total of 18 bills were presented to the Parliament in the second session. The government presented six bills whereas individual MPs presented 12. Fifteen pieces of legislation were endorsed by Parliament and forwarded to the President for ratification.

An Evaluation of the Parliament of Maldives 11 PARLIAMENT WATCH

The cabinet of Maldives resigned en-masse on the 29th of July, citing Parliament obstruction of its duties as the primary cause. On the same day, two MPs were charged with corruption and sedition. A few days later, the same charges were leveled against an additional two MPs. In the ensuing political drama, the two-year interim period specified in the Constitution ended on the 8th of August. As per the Constitution, permanent institutionswere required to come in to force before the end of the period. The Parliament failed to pass the Judges bill, and hence the Supreme Court bench was not appointed. The Maldives National Defense Force, on orders from the President, blocked the interim Supreme Court and confiscated its keys. The constitutional meltdown was averted when the Judges Act was passed and the Supreme Court was appointed and sworn in. The Judges Act was passed on 10th of August, two days after the conclusion of the interim period.

4.1.3) The third session of the Parliament at a glance

The first sitting of the third session of Parliament took place on 7th June and the last sitting on 30th December. The Parliament spent 91 hours in a total of 31 sittings. The average time spent per sitting is two hours and 57 minutes. Of the 31 sittings, nine sittings of Parliament were disrupted and cancelled. This is an average of 29% of the total number of sittings. The main reason for disruption of Parliamentary sittings was the issue of cabinet endorsement. The third session of Parliament is also the budget session of the Parliament.

Eighteen bills – same as in the second session of Parliament – were submitted to Parliament in the third session. Government presented one bill and individual members presented 17 bills. A total of three bills were endorsed by Parliament and one bill failed at the final voting stage.

endorsement of the cabinet after its resignation en-masse in July, rejection of Presidents’ nominee to the post of Auditor General, passage of the Parliamentary Privileges Bill, passage of the state budget and amendment of the Judges Act to provide benefits to former Supreme Court judges.

The endorsement of the cabinet was a contentious issue, as MPs from the ruling MDP supported a block vote of consent while the opposition campaigned for individual endorsement of cabinet ministers. On 22nd November, the Parliament voted to approve five of 12 cabinet appointments amid an opposition boycott of the Parliament session. The issue was resolved after a verdict from Supreme Court in the first week of December, leading to the removal of the seven cabinet ministers who were not given consent by the Parliament.

Also of note in the third session of Parliament is that the President’s nominee – who was also formerly the President of the Anti Corruption Commission – to the post of Auditor General was rejected by the Parliament.

6) Recommendations

1. Increase participation of women in the Parliament and bring gender perspective into legislation. Of the total 77 MPs in Parliament, only five are women. Political parties need to work pro- actively to reduce the barriers for women to enter the political sphere. The Parliament should introduce measures in the legislation that encourage women participation. The Parliament must also take the gender perspective into consideration in the development of legislation.

2. Develop infrastructure and human resource capacity of the Parliament. Most of the MPs interviewed for the evaluation noted that the infrastructure of the Parliament and the human resource capacity of the Parliament as insufficient for the functions of the Parliament. As a long-term strategy, the Parliament must develop its infrastructure, including increasing office space for the functioning of Parliamentary standing and temporary committees. Building the human resource capacity of Parliament’s staff is also important.

3. Improve the documentation and the accessibility of the documents of the Parliament. The documents produced in Parliament need to be improved. Inconsistencies and documents not being produced in a timely manner is an issue of concern. The consistent accessibility of these documents – such as draft bills, committee reports, agenda’s and minutes of meetings – need to be improved.

4. Conduct financial/ governance impact of legislation before passage of bills. The bills must ensure non-conflict with other legislations. The Parliament must incorporate a process at the committee stage to determine the financial and governance impact of legislations before their passage. The Parliament must institutionalize proper mechanisms for review of legislation before passage to ensure non-conflict with other legislations. Some of the legislations, such as parts of the Decentralization Act that deals with finance and the Public Finance Act passed by Parliament in the year 2010 have conflicting clauses.

5. Increase consultation with relevant interest groups during the different stages of legislation. Increased consultation with stakeholders of legislation will ensure the tenability of legislation and eliminate issues in the implementation of the law. In addition, consultatory processes produce better legislation and ensure inclusiveness. Mandatory consultation with target/relevant stakeholders must be institutionalized in the Parliamentary processes.

6. Prioritize bills and issues of national interest. The Parliament must prioritize issues and work of draft legislation at committee stage that are of national interest over other work of the Parliament. Key bills that relate to the functions of

22 An Evaluation of the Parliament of Maldives PARLIAMENT WATCH

the state and preservation of justice such as the evidence bill, right to information bill, political parties bill, penal code bill and drugs bill remain stagnated at committee stage. In addition, the Parliament must produce an action plan for each sitting in consultation with the government, political parties and others involved.

7. Conduct education programs for the public on the work of the Parliament, with a specific focus on newly passed legislation and the integrity mechanisms of the Parliament. It is important to conduct education programs for the public and other stakeholders since almost all the legislations enacted introduce completely new systems. It is also important to educate the public on the integrity mechanisms of the Parliament and on the general functioning of the Parliament to increase public trust and interest in the works of Parliament.

8. Improve the accessibility of the documents produced by Parliament through betterment of the Parliamentary website, use of social media such as Twitter and Facebook.

9. Fulfill the arliament’sP constitutional duty by publicizing financial and other interests of MPs. The Parliament currently does not disclose the financial and other interests of MPs that the constitution mandates MPs submit to Parliament. The Parliament should fulfill its constitutional duty by disclosing this information to the public. The disclosure of financial and other interests should also extend to the immediate children of the MP and spouse as well as the MPs’ parents.

10. Improve the functioning of the Parliamentary committees. The Parliament must allocate a time frame for specific works, including time frames for scrutiny of draft legislation before presentation to the Parliament floor. This is to prevent bills from stagnating in Parliamentary committees.

11. Employ more resources, including renting extra office space for Parliamentary committees to expedite its work. External professional and technical expertise must also be utilized in the functioning of the committees to produce robust legislation.

12. Political parties should resolve contentious issues prior to commencement of sittings to prevent disruptions/cancellation of Parliamentary sittings. A total of 22 of 95 sittings were disrupted, leading to waste of Parliamentary time and resources.

13. The Parliament should adopt in its Rules of Procedures measures to incentivize MPs to consult their respective constituencies in drafting, debating and voting on legislations and motions. Parliamentary Rules of Procedures must also accomodate provisions that ensure monies/ allowances provided to MPs is spent for its actual intended purpose. For example, MPs are provided an allowance for establishment of an office. Few MPs (if any at all) operate offices.
