President Dr Mohamed Muizzu has announced that all outstanding payments owed to fishermen have been transferred to the Maldives Industrial Fisheries Company (MIFCO).

In a statement on his official 'X' account, the President highlighted ongoing efforts to implement a system that ensures sustainable payments to fishermen within 48 hours, in line with the Dhiveheenge Raajje Manifesto.

A key objective of this manifesto is to guarantee that fishermen receive their payments promptly after their catch is weighed.
