Paperwork required for government handover finalised

Cabinet Secretary Dr Mohamed Nazeer has said that the administrative documents, required in the process of handing over powers to the new government, were finalised one and a half months ago by the Cabinet Secretariat.

Speaking at a meeting of the Parliament Committee on Oversight of the Government today, Dr Nazeer said that this includes project summaries, updates and budgets.

“This includes budgets of government offices, summaries of all projects carried out by the government up until now, and future updates. It also includes details on staff, as well as the work of political staff and the work done by their departments,” he said.

He said that three copies have been prepared, one each for the Ministry, the President, and the President’s Cabinet Secretary.

“This has been done thoroughly,” he said.

He said that a Coordination Committee will be formed for the government handover, and that the Coordinator will facilitate a smooth process. He said that preparations have been made in anticipation of the short period available for the handover, due to election delays.
