Civil Service Commission (CSC) President Dr. Ali Shameem is facing public criticism after being seen at President Abdulla Yameen’s campaign activities.
Photos circulating on social media show Dr. Shameem alongside Dr. Mohamed Shaheem, President Yameen’s running mate, during his campaign trip to Huvadhoo atoll.
Vice President Abdulla Jihad is also seen with them and some photos show Dr. Shameem with groups of young people.
The civil service regulation prohibits its workers from directly or indirectly using their positions to influence political activities.
Civil service employees have expressed concern that President Yameen’s campaign office is privy to their personal information.
