PPP/C MPs won’t be accepting salary hikes – Opposition Leader

At a meeting of PPPC Members of Parliament held today to prepare for the October 22nd sitting of the National Assembly, it was unanimously reiterated that PPP/C MPs will not be accepting the salary hikes as stated by the Leader of the Opposition at a public event at Red House on October 7th, 2015.
Instead a motion shall be laid in the National Assembly seeking to annul the “unconscionable and astronomical” salary increases that the A PNU+AFC Cabinet gave to themselves, a release from the Office of the Opposition Leader said this evening.

Furthermore, the meeting decided that it will also table a motion calling on all MPs to make public their tax returns to the GRA over the last 10 years.

It was decided to submit both of these motions prior to Thursday October 22, 2015 sitting, the release said.
