Telling lies is an art and part of human life everyday all over the world. That is why the naughty habit is virtually synonymous with political leadership, all over the world. No political leader can ever come clean completely as things are to the people. When therefore any political leader sermonizes on integrity, which in itself is a form of telling lies because if critically examined, the ingredients of such platitudes comprise mostly insincerity and hypocrisy.
Therefore any public office holder telling lies, especially at the highest level of authority, must at least try to perfect his act.
Mohamed Nasheed (Golhaa Anni) and his administration have a well-documented difficulty with honesty. President Nasheed lies frequently. He distorts the truth, changes the facts, changes the Law & Order, and smirks all the while. He lies both outrageously obvious and impulsively. Lies include: Building flats; Giving “Masdhoani” as a gift ; decreasing the price of water, electricity, food items ,300million dollars within 15 to 20 day of taking over the government, the use and abuse of religion . Nasheed lied freely during presidential election campaign, and parliament campaign, and boasting about his experiences in “statecraft”. His attitude of honesty and innocence is part of his performing acts.
It’s not far from our thoughts whether Mohamed Nasheed may be the worst president we ever had in our history. Maldivians who are beginning to burn a flicker of rational hatred for Nasheed, are deeply questioning their conscious for voting for him in the first place. In fact, it may beg the question of how people could support a man whose lies have been so well documented yet ignored or discounted.
Nasheed who once pointed his finger at Maumoon for being a dictator is himself a dictator now. Maumoon was openly criticized for giving powerful and authoritative posts for his family members, relatives and friends. Openly now, Nasheed is practicing the same but for the worst, for his selection of post holders are academically low or have minimum knowledge and expertise. A dentist can comprehend that Agriculture is in a dire need of a root canal. Some of Nasheed’s closest advisors and decision makers had spent half their life roaming on streets, bored out of their skulls with low personal hygiene and cleanliness and whistling at teenage school girls.
Impulsive decision making may become a tight noose around his neck in near future. Privatizing without careful planning or thinking about cost benefit can jeopardize a nation’s limited resources. Maldives is now becoming a province of India, by providing them with stronger footholds which in five years time may make them richer than add to our revenue.
My part in writing this article is not to demonstrate myself as a hard core Maumoon supporter, but from the point of a Maldivian with concerns for the nation’s directions. I witnessed a media interview where Nasheed (Anni) then an MDP activist running for presidency stated that “Just think what will happen if you place a sword in the hands of a crazy man.” I believed that he was strongly referring to Maumoon, but could it be perhaps he spoke about himself?
I’m sure readers will have come across the book published by IDP about the lies of the president Nasheed. Lies big and small are documented in the book and provide a powerful indictment of a man who not only appears to lie completely, but appears to do it without conscience. It lays out Nasheed‘s recorded words, and respected sources that are frequently cited
This book is essential to understand for every Maldivian who now is in the mood to bash Nasheed, and who wants to have the facts to back up their anti- Nasheed‘s arguments. Well researched, well sourced, and well written, lies exposed covers a multitude of lies told by Nasheed and his administration simply because it is so comprehensive, and so well sourced. A must have resource for anyone interested in analyzing the Nasheed presidency.
