Qualifications of Ministers: Article 130 (a): A person shall be qualified to be a member of the Cabinet if he: 1. is a citizen of the Maldives; 2. is not a citizen of a foreign country; 3. is a Muslim and a follower of a Sunni school of Islam; 4. has attained the age of twenty-five years; 5. is of sound mind. Article 130 (b) A person is disqualified from being a member of the Cabinet, or a member of the Cabinet immediately becomes disqualified, if he: 1. has a decreed debt which is not being paid as provided in the judgment; or 2. has been convicted of a criminal offense and sentenced to a term of more than twelve months, unless a period of three years has elapsed since his release, or pardon for the offense for which he was sentenced. I like to ask the not-so-honourable members of the MDP and PPM, which of the above criteria was net met by those two ladies who were voted out yesterday? If revenge and vengeance and retribution is the order of the day in our Majlis, what future do our young generation have, in particular our highly educated mothers and sisters?
