PNC opposes salary hike for local councillors

PNC MPs opposed a resolution by MDP MP Meekail Ahmed Naseem to increase local councillor salaries, citing the country's economic situation. The resolution highlighted pay disparities within councils. PNC MPs argued the resolution was not in good faith and that the economy declined under MDP. They assured adjustments would be made before term end. Some MPs questioned why MDP didn't raise salaries during its tenure.
