MALÉ, Maldives: The Parliament’s Finance Committee has approved a proposal to increase the monthly remuneration of the Supreme Court Chief Justice to MVR 95,125, up from the current MVR 91,000.
The proposal was submitted by Funadhoo MP Mohamed Mamdhooh during the committee’s meeting today, calling for a review of the Chief Justice’s salary and allowances.
Mamdhooh said the adjustment was intended to bring the Chief Justice’s remuneration in line with that of the Speaker of Parliament following changes to salaries.
Under the proposal, the Chief Justice’s existing allowances would be reviewed, with an additional MVR 4,125 granted as a special allowance.
The increase would bring the Chief Justice’s total monthly remuneration to MVR 95,125.
The Finance Committee approved the proposal during its meeting today. However, the information provided does not clarify whether further parliamentary approval is required or when the revised remuneration would take effect.
