Atheef has been transferred to the position of Senior Political Director at the Ministry of Tourism and Environment.

In the letter addressed to Atheef by the President's Office on Sunday regarding the transfer of position, it was stated that the president sincerely thanks him for the services he rendered to the Thulhaadhoo Health Center.

A source from Thulhaadhoo said that Atheef was transferred from the health center after some members of the main ruling People’s National Congress (PNC) Thulhaadhoo Executive Committee approached President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu during his recent trip to Thulhaadhoo, expressing their lack of confidence in Atheef. The source also mentioned that their lack of confidence was due to complaints from islanders about the deteriorating management and disorganization of the health center's affairs.

The letter sent to Atheef by the President's Office did not specify the reason for the job transfer.
