The Cabinet smells politics!

We have hoped for a star cabinet with capable administrators. But we see today are slow beaucrats like Dr Aminth Jameel and Dr Musthafa; and political appointees with lots of conflict of interest. Mr Buruma Gasim, Mr Sawad, Dr Didi, Dr Jameel are there for nothing but political reasons. Will they and others resign on their when they could not deliver or blame someone else as Mr Buruma Gasim did recently at the last minute after duping the parliament over overly deficient budget?

Mr President, you don't have to do this. They did not vote you but for themselves. Perhaps they campaigned for you for this in return. However we voted you into office for real change. We wanted a leadership change. We wanted to get a better life -- a better Maldives. We wanted basic needs at affordable rates. We know Maldives has the highest GDP in the region but only a few enjoys the benefits of it.

Mr President, do promise us that you will sack those who cannot show results in 100 days in the jobs, if they did not resign on their own. We have voted you because you wanted to see results and that you deliver your promises, not another political ordeal. We have had enough of political ordeals and deception in the name of reform in the past 30 years.
