Responsibility for overseeing the Department of Immigration and Emigration has been switched to the Ministry of Defence and National Security.
According to the President’s Office, the decision to transfer the department to within the mandate of the Ministry of Defence was taken to make administration of the country’s immigration system more efficient.
The Immigration department had previously been operated under the Ministry of Home Affairs.
Immigration Controller Dr Mohamed Ali was not responding to calls at the time of press.
