Gayoom's son in Waheed cabinet

Maldives president Mohammed Waheed on Wednesday inducted seven new ministers of state into his cabinet including Ghassan Maumoon, the youngest son of former dictator Maumoon Gayoom.
The appointment of Ghassan has led to fresh speculation about the role of Gayoom in the current regime with his imprints now finding place in all important ministries of the current regime.
On Monday, Waheed had picked up two more Gayoom-era officials to fill up the crucial cabinet berths of foreign affairs and finance. With the new appointments, former loyalists of Gayoom's regime dominate Waheed's cabinet that also has Gayoom's daughter.
