Are MPs in order to reject salary cuts proposed by SRC?

Reducing legislators’ salaries is not only unconstitutional and demeaning, but an affront by the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) to parliamentarians’ mental health.

SRC should have first waited for us to take oath of office and consult us before coming up with a revised salary schedule. Labour laws and human resource regulations across the globe stipulate that salaries for employees can only be maintained, not reduced.
