President Dr Mohamed Muizzu has said that he will propose amendments to the law to provide a salary for members of women's development committees (WDCs) in islands, replacing the current allowance system.
Speaking with residents of Alifu Dhaalu atoll Dhangethi last night, President Muizzu acknowledged that the existing legal provisions have led to unfair treatment of women's committees. However, he assured the residents that he intends to empower these committees and improve their conditions.
