Minister Shafeeq Refuses Disclosure on Political Appointees Amid Public Scrutiny
Finance Minister Mohamed Shafeeq declined to tell the Public Accounts Committee of Parliament how many political appointments the Muizzu administration has made, saying only the President's Office can disclose the figure. The article reports the current administration has appointed over 1,063 people to political positions, versus 808 under the previous Yameen administration, while President Muizzu's pre-election pledge to keep appointees below 700 remains unverified.
