In a significant address commemorating International Workers' Day, President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu unveiled plans to extend the age limit for serving in the government until 75 years old. This decision aims to address staffing shortages and provide opportunities for experienced individuals to continue contributing to the civil service and health sectors.
Acknowledging the invaluable contributions of servicemen who have dedicated their careers to important sectors such as civil service and health, the President emphasized the need to utilize their expertise and skills effectively. Many experienced individuals who have retired from government service now have the opportunity to rejoin the workforce and continue serving their nation.
President Muizzu outlined his intention to revise the existing retirement age policy, which currently mandates retirement at the age of 65. Under the proposed changes, individuals will be permitted to serve in government positions until the age of 75, allowing for a more extended period of active service and contribution to national development.
While exact details of the new policy were not provided during the address, the President's Office confirmed that arrangements are underway to facilitate the reemployment of individuals who have previously left the civil service for various reasons. This initiative aims to address staffing challenges and streamline recruitment processes within the Civil Service Commission (CSC).
The decision to extend the age limit for government service comes in response to the difficulty in recruiting temporary workers to fill vacancies left by employees on long-term leave. By allowing experienced individuals to re-enter the workforce, the government aims to maintain continuity in essential services and ensure efficient operations across various sectors.
The President's announcement underscores the government's commitment to leveraging the talents and expertise of seasoned professionals to drive progress and meet the evolving needs of the nation.
