President Pledges Salaries, Ramadan Allowance for WDC Members
President Dr Mohamed Muizzu announced upcoming amendments to the Decentralisation Act to ensure Women's Development Committee (WDC) members receive designated salaries and Ramadan allowance. Currently, WDC members receive only allowances. The amendments will come into effect next year. The President also pledged to address harbour limitations in Dhan'gethi, with development scheduled to start next year and complete by 2026. The harbour is expected to boost local tourism, which aims to increase bed capacity to 600. Additionally, a housing initiative for 2026, a cultural centre, and a waste management system were announced.
