Summary
In today's meeting, Funadhoo Constituency member Mohamed Mamdhooh proposed to review the salary and allowances of the Chief Justice, as mandated by the People's Majlis under Article 102 of the Constitution of the Republic of Maldives. This proposal was seconded by Kelaa Constituency member Abdulla Shareef and was passed unanimously by the committee members present and voting.
Subsequently, the committee proceeded with the review of the Chief Justice's remuneration. To ensure that the Chief Justice's total pay and benefits align with those of the Speaker of the People's Majlis, Funadhoo Constituency member Mohamed Mamdhooh proposed to revise the allowances by introducing a special allowance of MVR 4,125 (Four thousand one hundred and twenty-five Rufiyaa), thereby setting the total monthly salary and allowances for the Chief Justice at MVR 95,125 (Ninety-five thousand one hundred and twenty-five Rufiyaa). This proposal was seconded by Kelaa Constituency member Abdulla Shareef and was passed unanimously by the committee members present and voting.
Furthermore, the Committee deliberated on information received from the Maldives Customs Service regarding several issues, including the lack of staff rotation at the Velana Internationl Airport, instances where air cargo was cleared without being scanned, and allegations that duty-free goods intended for airport shops were being sold at other outlets owned by those companies. In this regard, it was decided to send a formal inquiry to the Maldives Airports Company Limited to ascertain whether the Maldives Customs Service conducts any commercial transactions within the warehouse facilities used for storing goods cleared by the Service at Velana International Airport.
Thereafter, the information provided by the relevant authorities concerning the following Committee reports was shared with the Committee:
- Correspondence from the Anti-Corruption Commission regarding the "Review Report on the Special Audit of Branches and Projects operated by Fenaka Corporation Limited in Addu City (2021-2023)";
