No Special Exemptions Granted to First Lady: CSC
The Civil Service Commission (CSC) told a Parliament committee that the agreement allowing First Lady Sajida Mohamed to provide consultancy to the Ministry of Health is not special or unprecedented. She is a Senior Scientific Officer at the Maldives Food and Drug Authority (MFDA) and took unpaid leave before being contracted at MVR 75 per hour for 40 hours monthly, plus one-third of the President's salary. CSC President Mohamed Nasih cited precedents from other ministries. Several committee members, including MP Meekail Ahmed Naseem, raised conflict-of-interest concerns because she reports to a minister appointed by her husband, the President.
