The President’s Office has opened applications for three membership posts on the National Integrity Commission (NIC).
Applications have been opened to fill vacancies following the resignation of members Hassaan Hameed, Khadeeja Abdulla and Ahmed Ameen. Their resignation followed the decision of the Parliamentary Committee on Independent Institutions to advise President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih to dismiss them over their failure to investigate complaints submitted in relation to law enforcement agencies.
The President’s Office stated it will accept applications for the vacant posts at NIC from July 19 to 21 from 0930hrs to 1230hrs. Application forms are available for download at the website of the President’s Office.
NIC is tasked with overseeing the administration of law enforcement agencies, investigating complaints submitted against the agencies and taking relevant action. The authority to appoint and dismiss members of NIC is granted to the president, in accordance to the NIC Act.
