Just a thought..

Specially at a time when our democracy is imperiled by remnants of the deposed regime. How is it helpful to get on the high horse and these issue blanket condemnations? The accusations in this statement are quite serious and ignores the context of recent Maldivian political history. For one thing, how have you determined that the executive has used its powers to 'harass and deter the functioning of parliament' and 'disrepute the judiciary'? I'd also suggest that both main parties would take umbrage at being accused of inciting violence. It's understood that 'People's Court' symbolizes the frustration of the people who attend the nightly MDP protests. Likewise, DRP 'mobilizing' its supporters does not imply a call to violence. Also, it would help if you could substantiate the claim that the government is not addressing the 'root cause' of the crisis.

]]> Comment on Press Statement on the escalation of crime in Maldives by Francis Castillo http://www.madulu.org/blog/press-release/press-statement-escalation-crime-maldives/comment-page-1/#comment-9794 Francis Castillo Wed, 07 Apr 2010 10:11:48 +0000 http://www.madulu.org/blog/?p=62#comment-9794 We'll i wish to inform in these blog that i am doing a research titled "Strategy in the Prevention of Prohibited Drugs and User's Rehabilitation in the Maldives". I went to Maldives, to see the situation and interviewed who are those active users as well as those that are already rehabilitated so to speak. While I was in the Maldives, I was in need of data of presently of maybe users and those that have been under rehabilitations and follow up for those that were released and under supervision. I was sent back and forth from DDPRS and the Ministry of Health who DDPRS is the department. I went to the Ministry of Health, spoke to Ms. Maimoona who was happened to be the boss of statistics, submitted theoir requirements and according to her it was approved, but then as i have no more time to spend in Maldives i went back to the institute. While i was communication to her with my requesire, i havent head from her. Even DDPRS could not provide me any data which is necessary for my work. The organization, chart, budget, and actual data numbers of admitted and under treatment were not available, according to them there was no data available even the organizational chart and Budget, number of staff were not available. Terrible right. As the government were democratically elected, organization such as DDPRS should be open or transparent to public who are in need and approved for solicitations of data. Well Maldives Police the Drug enforement Department has given me datas on drug related crime while DDPRS and the Ministry of Health who were in-charge for Preventions and rehabilitations were not able to give ant datas, concerning there responsibility. If it so, what are they doing? a question which has to be raised while government spending huge amount of budget, on their so call Preventions and Rehabilitation. I wish to note that i did not come to Maldives without proper documents of there cooperation as im well have the knowledge that before hand a proper request from the institute is required. Thank you and i hope at least this blog, might be able to help me provide requirements that maybe i need for my research.
