There have also been protests by citizens, amid rising burden of removing subsidy on Premium Motor Spirit on civil servants, self-employed, private sector workers and the unemployed. “While we recognise that it is within the constitutional remit of RMAFC to propose and fix salaries and allowances of political office holders and judicial officers, such cannot come to effect until it has equally been considered and approved by the President.
