for Kenyan parlierment to reduce the MPs salary.
KENYANS SET TO PETITION DONORS AGAINST KENYAN MP’S SALARY
Dear Kenyan,
Below is your MPs total salary per month
Basic salary = Sh. 395,000
A minimum commuted mileage = Sh. 75,000
Entertainment allowance = Sh. 60,000
Extraneous allowance = Sh. 30,000
House allowance = Sh. 70,000
Monthly car maintenance allowance = Sh. 247,000.
Gym membership allowance = Sh. 2,000.
Vehicle fixed cost allowance = Sh. 336,000
Committee meeting allowance = Sh. 40,000
Constituency allowance = Sh. 50,000
TOTAL TAX FREE = Sh. 1,242, 2000
= $17,742 per month
Per year each MP earn = $212,904 per year
EXTRAS Car loan = Sh 3.3 Million
House loan = sh 10 million
COMPARE THIS WITH A US SENATOR SALARY
USA senator’s salary = $165,000/year
= $13,750 per month
The salaries the Kenyan MPs are earning are from donors. This money will be paid back to a single drop by Kenyan tax payers. Kenya is a very poor country compared to United States. Just why these MPs earn more than the USA senators baffles everyone. However, they do so because the public have not demanded their rights. We have 207 MPs may be more. In five years they will draw about Ksh. 2 billion. This is greed. Only the Kenyan public can stop this.
Sign this petition and we will make sure it is delivered to the hands of the donors. We will also make attempt to lobby US/UK congress/senate to look into the money these two countries give to Kenya. Kenyan economy cannot sustain this. This petition may help stop this.
Again the petition site is: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/KDFC

CRACY!
It is amazing but not surprising that Kenyan Members of Parliament are earning some of the highest salaries on earth and yet the majority of the citizenry is jobless. Shame!
Donations from outside of the country should henceforth be chanelled to the people and not through the shamelesslly corrupt government.
Impunity is actively aided by the MPs who blocked the law from taxing them. If they defeat the law and dodge lawful taxation how can the correct the mess in government, let alone fighting corruption and impunity?
Those who have been thriving on impunity and corrution are having a field day following the avoidance of tax payments by MPs, let alone hiking of salaries beyond all sense of proportions in total disregard to the suffering Kenyans.
DR. ODIDA OKUTHE
It is sad that our members of Parliament are earning salaries that are beyond the production capacity of this nation, this is how I put it;
1. The MPs salary should be calibrated to the exchange rate of the nation in regard to developed countries such as USA or the UK salaries at all levels. We cannot pay more than what the country can produced. MP must work hard to raise productivity.
2. Too mush salary in leadership breeds too many money seekers than leaders thereby creating many wars in the land. Think of the many troubles we have during election periods.
3. No MP should give a reason to justify their earning with a pretense that it is because of their involvement while serving people. The government must be seen to meet the needs of its people but not money given out without accounability.
- How can one justify so much allowances in just 5 years!
We pray for our nation, and may God give the leadership.
