President Dr Mohamed Muizzu’s proposed Cabinet changes have been sent to a parliamentary committee of the People’s Majlis for review.

The proposed changes, which include the reconstitution of ministerial mandates and the reorganisation of Government institutions, were referred today to the relevant committee for review and approval of 14 ministers.

These changes follow the resignation of 10 ministers who had previously served in the Cabinet. Their resignations were made to facilitate the implementation of planned reforms and allow for adjustments to the structure and functioning of the Government.

As part of the reconstitution, several ministries have been merged, some existing ministries have been dissolved, and the mandates of ministries have been revised.

Following the changes, a total of 14 ministers, including both former Cabinet members and new appointees, have been sworn in.

The names of the ministers submitted for parliamentary approval are:

  • Minister of Finance and Public Enterprises: Moosa Zameer
  • Minister of Homeland Security, Labour and Technology: Ali Ihusaan
  • Minister of Education, Higher Education and Skills Development: Dr Ismail Shafeeu
  • Minister of Health, Family and Welfare: Geela Ali
  • Minister of Economic Development, Trade and Transport: Mohamed Saeed
  • Minister of Islamic Affairs and Endowments: Dr Mohamed Shaheem Ali Saeed
  • Minister of Tourism and Civil Aviation: Mohamed Ameen
  • Minister of Youth Empowerment, Sports and Fitness: Abdulla Rafiu
  • Minister of Arts, Culture and Heritage: Heena Waleed
  • Minister of Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development: Dr Abdulla Muththalib
  • Minister of Climate Change, Environment and Energy: Ali Shareef
  •  Minister of Defence and National Security: Hassan Rasheed
  • Minister of Fisheries, Agriculture and Ocean Resources: Ahmed Shiyam

The committee will review the candidates and present its recommendations to the Majlis floor, where final approval will be decided through a vote.
