Abdu'Satthar Mohamed elected Chair of Judiciary Committee

The Parliamentary Judiciary Committee today elected Abdu'Satthar Mohamed, PNC Member of Parliament for the Holhudhoo constituency, as its new Chairperson. This follows the resignation of the former Chair, Husnee Mubarik, PNC Member of Parliament for the Manadhoo constituency, from the Committee today.

The Parliamentary Judiciary Committee is mandated to oversee and ensure the accountability of the judicial sector, including the Judicial Service Commission (JSC). Husnee Mubarik resigned from the Committee after he was elected by the Parliament as the new member representing the Parliament on the Judicial Service Commission (JSC).

Following Husnee Mubarik's resignation, MP Abdu'Satthar, who belongs to the PNC and represents the Holhudhoo constituency, was elected as the new Chairperson of the Judiciary Committee at today's meeting. He previously served as the Committee's Vice Chairperson.

Consequently, at today's meeting, Mohamed Mamdhooh, PNC Member of Parliament for the Funadhoo constituency, was elected as the new Vice Chairperson of the Committee.

Husnee Mubarik was approved by the Parliament to be appointed as a member of the JSC after the previous parliamentary representative on the commission, Maafushi constituency MP Hussain Riza, resigned from both his membership and the presidency of the JSC.
