President Nasheed appointed the Maldives’ new Attorney General Dr Ahmed Ali Sawad to the Judicial Services Commission (JSC) in a ceremony Thursday morning.
Dr Sawad was presented a letter of appointment and took the oath of membership, administered by Supreme Court Judge Abdulla Areef.
Following the appointment, President Mohamed Nasheed said he hoped the JSC would “carry out its constitutional mandate” to ensure public confidence in the judicial system.
The President also nominated an additional six people for the Human Rights Commission of the Maldives (HRCM), after appointing Mariyam Azra Ahmed, Jeehan Mahmood and Ahmed Tholal to the five member commission yesterday, who were approved by parliament.
Following concern expressed by the Adhaalath Party that the first list of nominees did not include a religious scholar, the second list includes Ahmed Abdul Kareem, a scholar who sat on the interim commission.
Earlier this week the President appointed Dr Mohamed Latheef, Fahmee Hassan, Ahmed Hassan Didi, Abdulla Jihad and Hadheeja Adam to the Civil Service Commission.
