However, beyond that, a new position of Political Director has now been created. On top of this, the post of Senior Political Director has been established with political figures being appointed to these positions.
Despite this, the President's Office has not disclosed the salary information for these two roles. Attempts to seek details from spokesperson Mohamed Shaheeb went unanswered.
