Government to Clear Backlog of Payments to Fishers Before Ramadan: Fisheries Minister

Minister of Fisheries and Ocean Resources Ahmed Shiyam assured fishermen that all money owed by MIFCO would be paid before Ramadan, stating that MVR 650 million has been paid since the Muizzu administration took office with MVR 147 million still outstanding. The minister attributed payment delays to the per-kilo purchase price being raised from MVR 17 to 25 under the previous administration, which the current administration reduced to MVR 20 on 11 February.
