Mohamed Saeed, the economic minister, will chair the government’s powerful Special Economic Zone (SEZ) board, the president’s office has said.
The former chair, Vice President Ahmed Adeeb, was stripped of the post amidst an inquiry into an alleged assassination attempt on President Abdulla Yameen. Adeeb is now in police custody.
Ibrahim Muaz Ali, the president’s office spokesman, announced Saeed’s appointment on Twitter today. He was previously the deputy chair of the five-member board.
Housing Minister Dr Mohamed Muizz has also been appointed to the board. He is replacing former youth minister Mohamed Maleeh Jamal, who was sacked in July.
