The ministry of finance and treasury is preparing for an administrative overhaul after President Abdulla Yameen reconstituted its functions in the aftermath of a strike by hundreds of civil servants who were protesting mass job cuts.
The ministry’s acting permanent secretary, Ajwad Musthafa, said: “Civil service regulation stipulates that there must be a review and an overhaul of the administrative framework and structure of government office if the president reconstitutes its functions and responsibilities, therefore we are currently in the process of drawing up a new administrative framework, in consultation with the finance minister,” he said.
The new framework would help identify which employees would be transferred to other government ministries or laid off. He did not specify how the functions of the ministry has changed now.
“We then will inform the staff members regarding the changes, be assured, no employee will be dismissed arbitrarily,” he added.
