The President’s Office has re-opened a call for applicants for the position of Information Commission and opened a call for applicants for membership of the Police Integrity Commission (PIC).
The President’s Office said it had re-opened the call for Information Commissioner because only one applicant had answered the first call for applications in May.
The Information Commissioner position is a newly created independent office established by the landmark Right to Information Act.
The Act mandates President Abdulla Yameen to submit nominations for the post within 15 days of the Act coming into force on July 12. The People’s Majlis has to approve a nominee within 30 days of submission.
The call for applications will expire on June 22.
The PIC vacancy was caused by PIC member Dr Hala Hameed’s resignation earlier this year. Hala was appointed as State Minister for Health and Gender.
The call for applicants or PIC membership will expire on June 30.
Both applications are available on the President’s Office website.
