Salaries for Increasing Number of Political Appointees Draining State Coffers: Ex-President Solih
Former President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih said the Muizzu administration has spent MVR 270 million to 300 million more on salaries this year, which he said is why there is no money in the budget. Speaking at a campaign rally in Milandhoo Island, he compared MVR 2.1 billion in salaries in the first two months of this year with MVR 1.9 billion in the same period in 2023 and said the government is aiming to install 1,500 political appointees.

One outlet so far Only Maldives Republic has reported this among the sources we monitor. A gap in what we monitor, not proof that others did not report it.
Who said what
the reports' own quoted words, each once
Unfortunately, the administration has not been heading in the direction the people desired over the past three months
they are increasing political positions daily with the goal of installing 1,500 political appointees in the government, and development projects are stalled as a result.
Nothing to compare yet. If another monitored source reports it, its headline appears beside this one.
