Kaashidhoo MP Abdulla Jabir, who filed the motion, will be questioning the Minister on why the authorities continue to penalize parking violations without offering a reasonable solution to the shortage in parking spaces in capital Male'.
MP Jabir has also filed a motion to summon Home Minister Imran Abdulla to inquire regarding the steps being taken by the government to avoid a circumstance similar to what led to former president Mohamed Nasheed's resignation.
