Speaker of the Parliament, former President Mohamed Nasheed has ordered the Parliament Committee for Independent Institutes to continue the process of dismissing the Member of the Broadcasting Commission (BroadCom), Zeena Zahir.

He made the decision after the committee ruled to dismiss her and informed the Speaker of the Parliament as per the regulation.

According to the procedure of dismissal, after the committee decision, the Speaker of the Parliament has to formally order to continue the process at the parliament floor after which the committee would complete the process and bring it back to the parliament floor for a vote.

The previous Vice President of the BroadCom, Fathimath Zaina was dismissed from her position through the same process after a vote.

The Committee also decided to dismiss the previous president of BroadCom, Mohamed Shaheeb, his vice president, Ismail Sofwan and member of BroadCom, Hassan Nabah.

However, all three resigned before the parliament could complete the process.
