Mohamed Riyaz, MDP MP of Gaaf Dhaal Dhaandhoo has asked the People’s Majlis administration to reduce his salary by 20 per cent, reports Miadhu.
A special parliamentary committee is currently discussing the possibility of reducing the salary of Majlis members, but a consensus has not been forthcoming. Independent MP Mohamed Nasheed initially proposed reducing MP’s salaries and allowances from Mrf 62,000 a month to Mrf 37,000, but his bill was rejected.
Maldives President Mohamed Nasheed has requested members take a 20 per cent pay cut in the wake of reductions across the civil service.
