The Speaker said the National Assembly was on the same page with labour over the agitation but that a further downward trend in the economy might not favour even those the protest tends to protect.
He promised to meet again with the Executive since it was agreed that there won’t be increment in electricity tariff until every home is provided with metres.
In his remarks, NLC President , said the increments in the pump price of petrol as well as electricity tariff were done without consultation with labour.
He said the lack of palliatives to cushion the effects of the increase made the matter worse.
