The Sindh Assembly committee has approved a nearly 200% salary increase for its members, raising monthly pay from Rs150,000 to Rs430,000, along with higher annual and session allowances. Speaker Owais Qadir Shah said the move was aimed at bringing Sindh lawmakers’ salaries in line with those in other provinces. A separate law is also being drafted to revise the pay and perks of top officeholders, including the chief minister, speaker, deputy speaker, and opposition leader. Both government and opposition members will now receive equal benefits, covering housing, utilities, travel, medical, and office staff allowances. The decision, however, comes amid rising inflation and economic difficulties faced by the public, sparking concerns of controversy.
