A senior aide to President Abdulla Yameen has resigned today shortly after she was told to stay home.
According to a spokesman Aishath Liza, the president’s office media coordinator, was told to stay home on Friday. The president’s spokesman Ibrahim Muaz Ali said he has not yet received a resignation letter.
Liza, a former TV anchor, on Twitter said she had resigned to pursue higher education abroad.
Liza is the third coordinator to be sacked since an explosion on Yameen’s speedboat on September 28. On October 11, the youth ministry’s executive consultant Mohamed ‘Theme’ Shiyam and an executive coordinator Abdulla Muaz were sacked.
