President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu has sent the names of the three newly appointed ministers to the Parliament's Government Oversight Committee for further review.
President Dr. Muizzu announced a significant reshuffle in his cabinet, with several key appointments, on September 30. As such, Moosa Zameer, who served as the Minister of Foreign Affairs, was appointed as the new Minister of Finance, replacing Dr. Mohamed Shafeeq. Meanwhile, Dr. Abdulla Khaleel, who served as the Minister of Health, took the role of Minister of Foreign Affairs. Abdulla Nazim, who was a Minister at the President’s Office, was appointed as the new Minister of Health.
According to the constitution, if the president brings any changes to the Cabinet, or appoints new members, parliamentary approval is required. Parliamentary approval will be granted after the Government Oversight Committee's review of the names and submits its findings to parliament. This will then be followed by a voting session.
