The House of Representatives has cautioned the organised Labour against feeding the public with information about the earnings of members of the National Assembly.
In a statement by its spokesman Akin Rotimi, the House warned that acts like that could cause public resentment against lawmakers and undermine the credibility of the legislature.
The House also picked holes in the handling of the suspended industrial action by union leaders, describing the shutting down of the national grid as an act of economic sabotage, stressing that those responsible for sabotaging the nation’s economy should be brought to justice.
Insisting that the parliament supports the clamour for a living wage for workers, the statement warned against raising salaries beyond what the economy can accommodate to guard against untold consequences.
