Workers' Party chief Pritam Singh expressed support for increasing Members of Parliament salaries due to inflation. He also agreed with the Prime Minister's decision to limit ministerial salary increases to 9 per cent. However, the party differs on the formula used to determine these salaries.
The Workers' Party proposes pegging MP salaries to a senior public servant's salary, combined with a modest variable component. This approach contrasts with the recommended method of using the median salary of top earners with a discount.
Further details on the party's stance and the parliamentary debate on ministerial salary review are available from the source.
