JSC to Recommend Disgraced Ex-Judge for Chief Justice

The Judicial Service Commission (JSC) has decided to recommend that President Mohamed Muizzu appoint disgraced former Supreme Court Justice Abdul Ghani Mohamed as the next Chief Justice, following the retirement of Chief Justice Ahmed Muthasim Adnan. Ghani, dismissed from the Supreme Court in 2019 after a JSC investigation, was one of three former judges who sought the position. The other nominees were former High Court Chief Justice Shujau Usman and former Criminal Court Chief Judge Abdulla Mohamed (Abdulla Gazee). The Supreme Court is under scrutiny after removals and resignations, with three justices appointed by President Muizzu. If confirmed, Ghani will lead a reshaped Supreme Court poised to hear politically sensitive cases.
