MoLISA proposes increase to minimum wage
The Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs (MoLISA) has proposed that the minimum wage be increased by an average of 6 per cent, effective from July 1. Due to Covid-19, it has been more than two years since the minimum wage was last adjusted, which is normally done annually, meaning it no longer guarantees a minimum standard of living.
