President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu is making significant changes to his Cabinet. He has decided to transfer Foreign Minister Moosa Zameer to the role of Finance Minister and move Health Minister Abdulla Khaleel to the position of Foreign Minister.
This Cabinet reshuffle comes shortly after President Muizzu returned from the UN General Assembly (UNGA). Is this change a sign of dissatisfaction with the previous Finance Minister? What specific issues might have prompted this decision? So far, the government has not made an official comment on these changes. Attempts to reach President’s Office Spokesperson Heena Waleed for clarification were unsuccessful, as she did not answer her phone.
This marks the first Cabinet reshuffle since President Muizzu took office. Reports suggest that Abdulla Nazim, currently the Public Policy Secretary at the President’s Office, will take over as the new Health Minister. Nazim previously held the Health Minister position during former President Abdulla Yameen’s administration.
There is still uncertainty regarding the new role of former Finance Minister Dr. Mohamed Shafeeq, and the reasons behind these changes have not been clarified by the government. Are these adjustments intended to improve government performance or address specific challenges faced by the administration?
