Al-Khoul: MP Salary Increase to $5,000 Unjustified
The President of the Lebanese Workers' Union Federation, Maroun Al-Khouli, was reported to have rejected the decision to raise MPs' salaries to around $5,000 per month, considering that this increase is unjustified from social and economic perspectives. He called for transparency regarding the legal and financial justifications behind it. He confirmed that the source of this increase is the public treasury funded by the state and emphasized the need to apply standards of necessity and efficiency to public spending, especially amid the financial crisis and declining services. He also stressed the importance of transparency and accountability concerning the transfer of financial allocations related to MPs’ allowances. He affirmed that salary increases should benefit the most affected groups, such as workers and retirees, particularly in light of the collapse of the Lebanese pound’s exchange rate and rising living costs.
