More cash for MP trash

I am sick in my stomach knowing that the first thing they do when they come to parliament is think about how they can secure more cash for themselves...

From Bunge La Mwananchi

"Considering that an average Member of Parliament works for not more that 20 hours a week and takes home over Ksh. 800,000 untaxed plus travel, entertainment, insurance among other goodies in a country where taxable minimum wage is estimated at Ksh.10, 000, such inequalities cannot be tolerated.
Considering that an average Member of Parliament works for not more that 20 hours a week and takes home over Ksh. 800,000 untaxed plus travel, entertainment, insurance among other goodies in a country where taxable minimum wage is estimated at Ksh.10, 000, such inequalities cannot be tolerated. Further, considering that our country’s economy has millions of poor Kenyans without jobs to earn some income for food, shelter and clothing, such selfishness of our lawmakers cannot go unchallenged. Following a news article in our local dailies on the plans of Treasury to siphon billions of Kenya shillings out of public coffers into the MPs’ retirement kitty, Bunge La Mwananchi, a public forum for democratic expression after debates on the issue, seeing that our MPs maybe headed on the 9^th parliament road resolved that the Bunge should write a protest letter to all the Members of Parliament to push them to rescind on that decision.
Bunge La Mwananchi urges you to join the civil society’s call to write a protest letter to your Member of Parliament to express your disappointment and also challenge him/her to hid Kenyans call for all Members of Parliament to take a pay cut and make contribution to the National Reconstruction Fund. The reconstruction will involve massive repair and expansion of infrastructures that will create jobs for Kenyans.
Bunge La Mwananchi also wishes to remind our Members of Parliament, Hon. Raila and President Kibaki, that wealth inequality, unemployment and grinding poverty besides land question remains Kenyans urgent concern. Specifically to Kibaki and Raila, remember that Kenyans are still fresh with the methodologies that forced you two into power sharing deal!"
