Shamhooza’s dismissal comes amid major changes within the top management of state-owned enterprises following the ruling People’s National Congress (PNC)’s defeat in the local council elections in April.

The changes within the MWSC itself includes the resignation of then-managing director Abdulla Matheen on April 12. Hussain Fahmy, the former managing director of State Electric Company (STELCO), was appointed to the role on April 14.
