The assistant manager of the powerhouse on the southern island of Thimafarushi in Thaa atoll has been transferred after refusing to resign in the wake of the ruling party’s loss in the local council elections.
Three days after the polls, Ahmed Ilhan received a notice signed by Ahmed Shareef, managing director of the state-owned Fenaka Corporation, informing him of his transfer to the island of Baarah in the northernmost atoll.
“They did not state any reason, I was just provided with a notice. It is pretty obvious that the arrangement is made because of the elections. Our MD earlier said such changes would be made if the government loses,” Ilhan told the Maldives Independent.
The notice did not state a reason for the transfer but ordered Ilhan to report to duty on May 16 as the assistant manager of the Fenaka branch on Baarah. Ilhan said he has not yet decided on complying with the order.
