All 55 Members of Parliament, including Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka, Cabinet Ministers, Assistant Ministers, and the Leader of the Opposition will take a 20 per cent cut to their base salaries for the duration of Fiji's fuel crisis.
This comes after Parliament unanimously passed the motion yesterday.
The cut applies to base salaries set under Gazette Notice No. 516 of 2024.
