President Abdulla Yameen has overhauled the seven-member employment tribunal, replacing its president and vice president and appointing two new members to the panel in the last month.
The president and vice president of the tribunal, which has received praise from lawyers and unions for protecting worker’s rights, were sacked in June and replaced by members, Faaiz Rashad and Ismail Ahmed in July.
Faiz had been appointed to the panel in 2015 and Ismail in 2014.
On Sunday, Yameen appointed Adam Zalif and Mariyam Nishfa to the two vacancies. Zalif is the younger brother of Jumhooree Party MP Ilham Ahmed.
