Parliamentary Motion Urges Expedited Payments to Fishermen as Concerns Grow Over Unpaid Dues
An opposition MDP MP, Rozaina Adam, introduced a parliamentary resolution on 5 February urging the Muizzu administration to pay fishermen owed money for fish sold to state-owned MIFCO as soon as possible, noting fishermen have gone unpaid for more than two months. The government says the payment delay began under the previous MDP-led administration, with Fisheries Minister Ahmed Shiyam attributing it to an unbudgeted additional MVR 250 million needed after MIFCO raised the skipjack tuna buying rate from MVR 17 to MVR 25 per kilo.
