President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu has announced that all outstanding payments owed to fishermen have been successfully transferred to the Maldives Industrial Fisheries Company (MIFCO) for immediate distribution. This significant move aims to alleviate financial burdens on the fishing community and ensure that they receive the compensation they are due.
In a statement on his official X account, President Muizzu highlighted ongoing efforts to establish a sustainable payment system that guarantees fishermen receive their payments within 48 hours of weighing their catch. This initiative is part of the broader objectives outlined in the Dhiveheenge Raajje Manifesto, which seeks to enhance financial support and streamline payment processes for the fishing sector.
A key goal of the manifesto is to ensure timely payments to fishermen, allowing them to manage their finances more effectively and improve their livelihoods.
