The Parliament's Public Finance Committee has approved to increase the salary of Deputy Presidents of atoll councils.

In the absence of the atoll council's president, all responsibilities of the council will fall on the Deputy President. The Local Government Authority (LGA) in a letter sent to the Public Finance Committee said the salary of the Deputy President must be higher than those of general members of the council for this reason.

After discussion, the committee made the decision to increase the salary of Deputy Presidents by MVR 1,000. With this change, Deputy Presidents will now make MVR 21,000 per month.

Atoll council presidents make MVR 28,000 per month as salary and allowances. While mayors make MVR 40,000 a month, the salary of deputy mayors is MVR 35,000. City council members make MVR 30,000. Island council presidents' salary is MVR 20,000 and council members make MVR 13,000.
