Parliament Speaker further stressed on the mounting tensions by several families and residents currently stuck in Greater Male' Region, on tenancy - as most of them do not have means to settle out rents.
The parliament Speaker further criticized possible government inaction in providing solution towards the said issue, as Nasheed claimed he failed to understand why an issue of grave consequences for the public should be unimportant.
He further said MPs reserved the right and authority to hold government officials accountable and had the power to remove them from their held designations over imcompetency.
