Officials from the Housing Development Corporation (HDC), who had not faced any administrative action over work performance in the past, have been suspended indefinitely.
Adhadhu understands that five officials were put on suspension, including three of the most senior officials. They are head of legal department Dr. Fathimath Shiunee, chief planning officer Ahmed Zinaf and chief human resources officer Mohamed Ilham.
"The next step is to fire them. This is being done on the orders of PNC. This is an unjust decision," a person familiar with the matter told Adhadhu on condition of anonymity.
In addition to the three senior officials, a director and assistant director of the human resource department were also suspended on Monday.
Some people told Adhadhu that they were suspended for no reason.
"There is only a list sent by the PNC. A few days ago, a PNC steering committee held a meeting to draw up a list of those who should be fired from HDC and a list of those who should be hired," a source told Adhadhu.
Zinaf has been employed by HDC since its inception, while Shiunee and Ilham have been working at HDC for more than 10 years.
The suspended assistant director is the wife of Shaneez Hisham, who ran for the Hulhumale' South parliamentary seat on the PNC ticket.
The suspensions came after the top management of the company was changed.
"[Former Managing Director Mauroof Jameel] did not act as PNC wanted. Now, HDC is doing what PNC wants," a source told Adhadhu.
