In a significant move to strengthen the nation’s fight against corruption, President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu appointed two new members to the Anti-Corruption Commission of Maldives (ACCM) this morning. The appointees, Ahmed Nashid and Abdulla Nashid, bring a wealth of experience and expertise to the commission, which plays a crucial role in ensuring transparency and accountability within the government.
Ahmed Nashid, one of the newly appointed members, has an extensive background in law enforcement. He previously served as a member of the Police Board and held the position of Assistant Commissioner of Police. His experience in public service and law enforcement is expected to be invaluable in overseeing anti-corruption efforts in the country.
On the other hand, Abdulla Nashid brings his expertise in education and management to the commission. With a Master of Education in School Management from the Regional Institute of Education in India, he has worked as a manager in various departments of Aasandha Company, the national health insurance provider. His experience in governance and organizational management is seen as a strong asset in tackling issues of corruption and promoting integrity within public institutions.
The two new members took their oaths as part of a ceremony held this morning, with Supreme Court Justice Hon Uz Mahaz Ali Zahir administering the oath of office. During the ceremony, President Muizzu formally handed over their letters of appointment to the Anti-Corruption Commission, marking the beginning of their roles in the commission.
The appointment of Ahmed Nashid and Abdulla Nashid reflects the President’s commitment to strengthening the fight against corruption, an issue that has long been a priority for the Maldivian government. Their appointment is expected to further bolster the effectiveness of the Anti-Corruption Commission in promoting ethical governance and ensuring that public resources are managed with the highest standards of accountability.
As the nation continues to focus on transparency and integrity, the addition of these two skilled individuals to the ACCM is a step forward in achieving the Maldives’ broader goals of good governance and anti-corruption reforms.
