End of days in government

After maximum 4 years in the cabinet the then Attorney General Dr Hassan Saeed and Justice Minister Dr Mohamed Jameel Ahmed resigned from the government in a massive blow for the reformist credentials of President Gayoom. The resignations were submitted at August 5, 2007 2.30pm, and Saeed and Jameel arrived at Darubaaruge for press conference just after 3.30 pm accusing Gayoom, Hassan Saeed said quote “I have resigned because the reform agenda, which I joined the government for, has failed, and it is not appropriate for me to stay in the cabinet.” Following his resignation from the Cabinet, Dr. Saeed, along with former Foreign Minister Dr Ahmed Shaheed and former Justice Minister Mohmamed Jameel Ahmed has setup a corporate and business law firm called "Raajje Chambers".
