Mujthaz appointed Civil Service Commission member

President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu appointed Mohamed Mujthaz as a member of the Civil Service Commission (CSC) on Sunday.

The appointment was made in line with Article 180(b) of the Constitution and Article 13 of the Civil Services Act, during a ceremony held at the President’s Office that morning.

During the ceremony, Supreme Court Justice Hussain Shaheedh administered the oath of office to Mujthaz. Following the oath, President Muizzu handed him the official letter of appointment.

The Parliament greenlighted Mujthaz’s appointment for CSC membership last Wednesday with the unanimous votes of all 71 lawmakers in attendance.

Mujthaz holds a Bachelor of Law from the Maldives College of Higher Education.

He is a former parliamentary representative for the Hanimaadhoo constituency. He also served as a state minister at the President’s Office during former president Abdulla Yameen Abdul Gayoom’s administration.

The vacancy at CSC opened in March after the commission’s then-vice president Ibrahim Rasheed resigned in face of a no-confidence motion against him at the Parliament.

The five-member CSC was established in 2007, with a mandate to appoint civil service staff, establish a professional and modern service, and drive government policy and democratic governance.
