Male' - The Maldives Dictator has increased the salaries and allowances of his close circle officials by 60% reports say. Ministers will now get Mrf 42,500, State Ministers Mrf 32,000 and Deputy Ministers pay will get Mrf 20,500. In addition to this, they will also get a 15,000 allowance on top of the salary.
