Deposed Opposition Leader Mick Beddoes said it is necessary for the next parliament to make changes to the constitution to ensure that the next Ombudsman does not compromise the position.

Beddoes comments come following concerns on the in-action of the Ombudsman Dr Shaista Shameem in the deportation of Evan Hannah.

He says Dr Shameem has been pro interim administration since taking office and she has not acted in the interest of the citizens - whom she is there to protect.

“She’s done the complete opposite and therefore I think in the next parliament we need to tidy all the provisions up relating to this important function to ensure that we never again have the likes of somebody like Dr Shameem any where near performing a role that requires some one to have integrity and impeccable principles and that’s a very good thing because up to this moment and Mr. Hannah’s case is a typical example and some other previous ones where she had not bothered to take any action.”

Meanwhile Dr Shameem said she is waiting for evidence of allegations against Hannah being a threat to national security, before she can comment.

She says all issues regarding the reasons and circumstances leading up to the deportation of Hannah is already before the court.
