MALE, 09 July 2021, (TON): The Parliament, approved Assistant Auditor General Hussain Niyazy for appointment as the next Auditor General.
Niyazy gained the backing of the Parliament with the unanimous consensus of 63 parliamentarians at the sitting afternoon.
Niyazy has served as Assistant Auditor General since December 20, 2011. He heads the Financial Audit Division which manages the financial audits of state-owned enterprises.
He has over 15 years of experience working for the Auditor General’s Office.
He was nominated for the position of Auditor General after Hassan Ziyath resigned from the position in May, after it came to light that he was named on the list of suspected beneficiaries of funds stolen from MMPRC.
Ziyath ran as a PPM candidate for the Hulhu-Henveiru seat in the 18 parliamentary assembly. Several other PPM candidates who ran in the 2014 election have also been named in the list.
