Dr Rahman also spoke about the government's decision to introduce a dearness allowance for public officials and employees, a measure expected to be implemented soon.
"The dearness allowance issue falls under the Ministry of Finance, but as a committee member, I can confirm that discussions have already progressed, with two meetings held. This allowance will be a significant step, and this time pensioners will also benefit, which wasn't the case before," he added.
He elaborated that the allowance would be adjusted with the basic salary during the next increment period, ensuring sustainable financial support for government employees.
