President Irfaan Ali yesterday announced that effective from January 1st, 2023, sections of the Joint Services will benefit from adjustments to their minimum salaries to the tune of $1b.

In an address to the nation, Ali said that the adjustments to the minimum salaries are additional to the eight percent across-the-board increase for public servants which was announced last week.

“…..These revisions to the salaries of the members of the Disciplined Services will benefit an estimated 8000 persons and will increase the disposable income of our men and women in uniform by over $1b annually,” Ali announced.
