Parliament, on Wednesday, has approved the appointment of Mohamed Mujthaz, who was recently appointed a member of the Civil Service Commission (CSC), as the Commission’s vice president.
Parliament greenlighted Mujthaz’s for CSC membership on April 16th. He was formally appointed to the post by the President on April 20th.
Mujthaz's appointed as CSC's vice president was approved by the unanimous votes of 64 lawmakers in attendance during Wednesday's parliamentary sitting. 
Mujthaz holds a Bachelor of Law from the Maldives College of Higher Education.
He is a former parliamentary representative for the Hanimaadhoo constituency. He also served as a state minister at the President’s Office during former president Abdulla Yameen Abdul Gayoom’s administration.
The vacancy at CSC opened in March after the commission’s then-vice president Ibrahim Rasheed resigned in the face of a no-confidence motion against him at the Parliament.
The five-member CSC was established in 2007, with a mandate to appoint civil service staff, establish a professional and modern service, and drive government policy and democratic governance.
