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
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.
