Parliament to Fast-Track Tainted Ex-Justice’s Appointment as Chief Justice

President Mohamed Muizzu has accepted the Judicial Service Commission's recommendation to appoint former Supreme Court Justice Abdul Ghani Mohamed as Chief Justice and forwarded the nomination to Parliament, whose Judiciary Committee has received it and is expected to confirm the appointment in the coming days. Ghani was dismissed from the Supreme Court in 2019 after a 64-0 parliamentary vote, and the Supreme Court bench has been reshaped by removals and resignations in recent years.
