Outsize political influence within the civil service affected the efficiency of government ministries, according to the transition committees of president-elect Ibrahim Mohamed Solih.
After assessing ministries and state-owned enterprises, the transition teams have been briefing the press before Solih takes the oath of office Saturday.
Mohamed Aslam, who leads the team assessing the housing ministry, accused the outgoing administration of unfairly handing out social housing flats, an allegation denied by Housing Minister Dr Mohamed Muizz.
“It is finalised by a decision making committee which is entirely made up of political individuals. The office or the civil servants are not aware how the decisions are made,” Aslam, a former housing and environment minister, told the press Wednesday morning.
