      <title>Increase Overtime Payment for Teachers</title>
      <link>https://www.gopetition.com/petitions/increase-overtime-payment-for-teachers.html?utm_medium=rss</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>We the teachers teach whole day, prepare for the lessons in the afternoon, conduct extra classes in the evening, mark the students’ books at night and life goes on this way.</p>

<p>Beside these, we assume different extra and co-curricular responsibilities in school at different levels, attend several meetings and deal with irate students daily. We work round the clock, and commit ourselves to bring the best out of each child.</p>

<p>We are not asking for a pay raise, or any other special privilege. We only ask for full OT payment, for the work we have to do in the school. If this is too much, please don’t tell us that you value our work.</p>]]></description>

      <title>Give Voters the Right to Recall Majlis Members</title>
      <link>https://www.gopetition.com/petitions/give-voters-the-right-to-recall-majlis-members.html?utm_medium=rss</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Maldives is currently facing the biggest hurdle so far in implementing the Constitution according to the president. The cabinet resigned recently, protesting the behaviour of opposition MPs who they said were “hijacking” the powers of the executive and making it impossible for the cabinet Ministers to discharge their constitutional duties and deliver the government’s election manifesto.</p>

<p>Forgetting the fact that we the people of this country voted for a presidential system of governance in the last referendum, the MPs started awarding themselves, powers given actually to the executive. It is time we change the electoral law to force MPs to seek vote of confidence through a constituency recall mechanism if they have been found guilty of unacceptable behaviour.</p>

<p>In the light of current political chaos and other ongoing outrages committed by Majlis Members, we demand the right for voters to be given the power to sack MPs by signing a petition to "recall" them.</p>

<p>MPs should be forced to seek immediate re-election if ten per cent of constituents sign up to the demand.</p>]]></description>

      <title>Free the Kimboo</title>
      <link>https://www.gopetition.com/petitions/free-the-kimboo.html?utm_medium=rss</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Help us save the only crocodile to reach our country soil in the history! "The kimboo" A baby crocodile! It has been captured by the government of Maldives and kept in a small cage! The crocodile is innocent! He didn't commit a crime!</p>

<p>There is no such law stating that it is a felony for a crocodile to enter the Maldivian territory! Therefore the crocodile cannot be incarcerated for the rest of his life!</p>

<p>We can prove his innocence! Set him FREE! Why? Because that innocent little crocodile need to be out there, living his life, swimming free UNhumiliated!</p>]]></description>
