Fayyaz Accuses Government of Deception Over Salary Cuts and Tax Hikes
Maldivian Democratic Party chairman and opposition leader Fayyaz Ismail accused the government of misleading the public, saying it created nearly 3,000 political jobs in 11 months while raising taxes on citizens. Fayyaz criticised the government for not reducing political appointees to the 700 President Dr Mohamed Muizzu promised, as the government prepares a 10% salary cut for political appointees and state-owned company staff in the upcoming 2025 budget.

It is shameful to talk about increasing taxes on the people unless the number of political employees is reduced to 700 as promised
Nothing to compare yet. If another monitored source reports it, its headline appears beside this one.
