Simple Systematic way to Check how much is your Average Politician,individual,worker,person Corrupted in the Maldives? (Money Laundering in the Maldives)

If the Maldives Inland Revenue Authority, Anti Corruption Commission, works in co-ordination with banks and organizations / companies, we can easily monitor, how much is your average politician,individual,worker,person corrupted in the Maldives? or earning illegitimately per month / per year?

I know this may sound futuristic or some may say idealistic, but i feel this can be implemented and should be implemented in the Maldives.

To take this into a simplified perspective or example:

Let's take an average Maldivian who earns MRF.15,000 per month, with no additional sources of revenue and , doesn't do business. And if occasionally per month he is receiving amounts of  MRF. 50,000 or MRF. 100,000 or MRF 1,000,000 this seriously calls into question where he is earning this money and how he is getting this money?

1) Is he getting this money from selling drugs?
2) Is he getting this money from business men by selling deals under the table as a member of parliament?
3) Is he getting this money from selling propaganda media?
4) Is he getting this money from buying votes or selling votes?
5) Is he getting this money by involving with foreign mafia?
6) Is he getting this money from international terrorists?

The reason, i say this can be monitored is the fact, that we all are linked in the world of online financial transactions, and anyone receiving any funds to any bank whether inside or outside of the country as a Maldivian national can and should be monitored? In co-ordination with local and international banks and government organizations.

Even if Income Tax is not yet introduced, MIRA can be actively, involved in these issues, as these are sources of generating revenue which can or maybe be considered as business revenue generation models, although not ethical or legal.

What i have mentioned above is not a detailed framework, guideline or regulation but the mere idea that this can be and should be monitored, so that corruption is tackled at the basic level.

I here by quote from International Monetary Fund Report:

a) Maldives: Detailed Assessment Report on Anti-Money Laundering and Combating the Financing of Terrorism:

Quote from the report: "Financial sector of the Maldives, although small and not very developed, is susceptible to both money laundering and, to a lesser extent, terrorist financing. While the authorities do not have estimates of the size of the crime economy, anecdotal evidence suggest that trafficking in illegal drugs and corruption alone produce significant amounts of illegal funds. There are also indications that resources have been raised in the country to fund terrorists and terrorist activities abroad."

I call upon the current government, Raees Yameen and the Coalition Majority Parliament and PPM, to implement these kind of stringent controls to strengthen our financial network / system, as soon as possible.

Corruption even in the Maldives Police

In regard to the cancelled October 19 presidential election, it was reported that “Police abdication of their responsibility prevented the elections from occurring”.

The Police Integrity Commission (PIC) identified eight cases of police brutality and sent six to the Prosecutor General’s Office (PGO) for prosecution. The PIC recommended administrative action against all the officers. Authorities dismissed one officer, while five others remained with the police, including one who was promoted. At year’s end two of the six cases submitted to the PGO had been dismissed for lack of evidence, three cases had been filed at the courts for prosecution, and one had yet to be decided.

Discrimination between Foreign and Local Staff in Male

If you're a foreigner the government, the company is obliged to provide food & accommodation for such staff in Male.

However, if you're a local or Maldivian from Rajjetherey, with the same qualifications and experience as the foreigner, still the government or company doesn't provide food and accommodation in Male?

Now if this is not discrimination then, what is this?

Where is the justice, where is the employment law, where are the people who fight on employee rights or to protect the rights of the local people?...

All we have are a bunch of hypocrites in our parliament and elected government officials, including the president...

Media Plays a vital role in holding Politicians Accountable

The media plays a vital role in holding politicians accountable....For example past promises by politicians on previous elections (on live television or radio) should be recorded and followed up on subsequent elections...

Questions should be asked by the media and journalists why the politicians failed to deliver on their promises which was promised in their last election? For example, every candidate contesting need to be re-evaluated on the basis of their promises and what was actually delivered or done for his dhaaira from where he was elected?

Unfortunately, our country doesn't have an independent media, its always one sided, for example Villa TV, Dhi Tv, MBC, Sun FM, Haveeru is PPM and Rajjey TV is MDP...so where is the impartial media in our country?

We don't need propaganda media, we need real impartial media...

U.S. Concerns on Dismissal of Maldivian Elections Commissioners

United States led international criticism of the Maldives on Tuesday after the island nation's top court sacked its election commissioner two weeks before polls, questioning its commitment to democracy.

"These actions (of sacking) represent an unprecedented expansion of judicial powers which undermines an independent democratic institution that has made laudable efforts to hold multiple successful elections despite previous judicial interference," State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki said in a statement.

"The Supreme Court's insistence on holding parliamentary elections on March 22 while imprisoning the very official responsible for holding those elections calls into serious question the government's commitment to democracy," she said.

U.S Department of State - Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 2013 for Maldives

Most significant human rights problems included charges of Supreme Court interference to subvert the presidential elections process and corruption of officials in all branches of government.

Judiciary was not independent and impartial and was subject to influence and corruption. There were instances in which the outcome of cases appeared predetermined, such as the repeated intervention by the Supreme Court in the presidential elections. This included the Supreme Court’s direct acceptance of cases about the elections without allowing lower courts to hear them first. There were numerous allegations of bribery and abuse of power within the judiciary. Both government loyalists and opposition members accused the judiciary of being biased and having its own political agenda. A number of judges were known to base their rulings on cash rewards, and there were reports that lawyers occasionally built the cost of bribes into their fees. The public generally distrusted the judiciary.

Every Maldivian Doesn't Need to come to Male for Medical Care - FoatingHospital in the Maldives

Every Maldivian Doesn't Need to come to Male for Medical Care

Traditionally Governments of the Maldives, has tried to develop the Island Medical Centers which is good.

However, to develop all Islands Medical Centers or Clinics in the Maldives to standard of IGMH or ADK Hospital may not be a practical or feasible solution in terms of costs and expenses incurred. As some these Islands will only have a population of 1,000 or 2,000 etc. which may not be practically feasible to build such huge infrastructures and the ongoing operation costs of running such a huge hospital for small island populations in the longterm and Government may never recover such costs.

But an alternative can be to develop each of the major populated islands in the Maldives or the main island in each atoll with the best infrastructure and hospitals etc. And re-locate all islanders to the main islands of each Atoll so that development, progress and best medical healthcare is received by each Maldivian.

Another, futuristic alternative concept can be to introduce a FoatingHospital in the Maldives, as Maldives is dispersed into many Islands and by which each Maldivian can benefit and receive the best medical healthcare at least once a month from his or island via such floating hospital.

I sincerely hope to see the day this country is developed to such standard.
