Norton says he will accept 10 per cent increase despite criticising it

OPPOSITION Leader Aubrey Norton, despite his strong objections to the recently announced 10 per cent retroactive salary increase for public servants, has confirmed that he will accept the raise.
At a press conference held by the People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) on Friday, Norton said, “Yes, it will be accepted”, when asked about his stance on the salary increase announced by President Irfaan Ali earlier this week.

Norton currently earns over $1.8 million per month as opposition leader, along with other benefits.
This increase will elevate his monthly salary to around $2 million. Furthermore, President Ali indicated that public servants would receive an additional eight per cent increase in 2025, which Norton will also benefit from.
