I think it is unfair to order them to take a salary cut. You cannot order anyone to take a salary cut. You can only ask someone to accept to reduce his salary but you cannot order anyone to take a salary cut. The issue of salaries and a ballooning wage bill is something of concern to this country and we need to be objective about it."}
