President Dr Mohamed Muizzu has announced the Government’s decision to amend the allowances and pensions granted to former presidents and former members of the People’s Majlis.
In a post shared on his official X account today, the President stated that the Government will submit legislative amendments to the People’s Majlis, aimed at eliminating certain privileges currently afforded to former presidents and former members of Parliament.
The President further emphasised that the Government is revising the relevant laws and regulations to bring pension entitlements in line with those of other Government retirees. He added that provisions will also be introduced to suspend pension payments during any period in which beneficiaries are re-employed in Government service.
