Abdul Hameed Mohamed Fowzie (born 13 October 1937) is a Sri Lankan politician, a member of the Parliament of Sri Lanka and a former government minister. He served as Mayor of Colombo between 1974 and 1977. Fowzie was a parliament member from 1996, representing the United National Party, but later joined the Sri Lanka Freedom Party.
In 2009 he was injured while walking with a crowd in the Akuressa suicide bombing. He joined the National Government of Sri Lanka led by the United National Party as the Minister of Disaster Management.
He re-entered parliament in 2023, after being elected as the Samagi Jana Balawegaya representative from the Colombo District, following the resignation of Mujibur Rahman, who ran for Colombo mayor.
Legal issues
On 27 August 2024, the Colombo High Court sentenced Fowzie to two years of rigorous imprisonment, which was suspended for ten years after he pleaded guilty to misusing a company vehicle belonging to the Ministry of Disaster Management. The court also imposed a fine of Rs. 400,000.
