Reacting to the adjustment, Mr Ndume said it would be unfair on the part of the government and NAHCON to deny first-timers the right to perform the spiritual exercise, especially those who paid before the increment. “I strongly believe that the right thing to do is to subsidise the fee and take the extra burden away from pilgrims, especially first timers who deserve to participate in this year’s Hajj exercise. We need to help” he said.He said the intended pilgrims should not be made to bear the consequences of such an increment.
