A few days ago, the cabinet had approved doubling the president’s salary to Rs846,550. It is not yet known what raise has been proposed in prime minister’s salary, but officials confirm that it is a part of the cabinet meeting’s agenda. The notification about the honorarium for federal government employees was issued by Secretary to PM Fawad Hasan Fawad. However, he said, they supported the idea of forming a special court against Musharraf to dispel the impression of any disagreement between the federal government and Sharif over Musharraf’s trial. A few days ago, PM’s spokesman Musadik Malik had said in a TV talk show that the cabinet would soon approve the formation of a trial court against Musharraf.
