Proposed Police, Army Pay Rise Postponed
The government has postponed the proposed pay rise for police and army personnel, originally scheduled for January 2024, due to financial challenges. The National Pay Commission decided to postpone, and the new pay framework will take effect in March. Further delays are possible if the financial situation does not improve. The pay rise was a commitment by President Mohamed Muizzu and former President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih, and was reflected in the proposed 2024 budget. President Muizzu is considering phasing the increase: 35% in the first year, 25% in the second, and 40% in the third. The Ministry of Finance announced that police salaries will increase from March.
