Mohamed Farhad was appointed as the President of the National Integrity Commission soon after President of the Maldives His Excellency Abdulla Yameen Abdul Gayoom appointed the commissioners on 15th October 2015 to begin his 5-year term.

Prior to his appointment as a commissioner of NIC he was Vice President of Police Integrity Commission since 13th August 2014. Before this he had worked at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Farhad decided to use his public service expertise in international diplomacy to further contribute to his nation by using his experience and tact to bring understanding and harmony between law enforcement agencies and civilians which was tarnished due to political turmoil within the small island nation.

Farhad holds a Bachelor of Arts (Political Science) from Osmania University in Hyderabad, India and Master of Human Sciences (Political Science) from the Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) with 19 years of Foreign Service experience under his belt. As part of his studies he had also published a thesis on ‘Political Transformation in the Maldives; 2003 -2009: An Analysis’.

His experience & education in the Foreign Service has given him the expertise to deal with intergovernmental relations at international levels.
