It was wrong to rollback MPs’s salaries. Salaries are never rolled back. This is just the law of economics. People, including Members of Parliament, apply for jobs and make budgets based on the salary offered. Therefore, to deal with difficult economic times, increment in salaries and employment are frozen for a period of time.

When you look at people like Charles Nyachae, the Chairman of the Constitution Implementation Commission (CIC) who has voiced his concerns on the demand by MPs to reverse the decision by Salaries and Remuneration Commission that slashed MPs’s salaries, the guy is earning over 2 million Kenya shillings; his pay is even more than that of the President of Kenya. Can Mr. Charles Nyachae justify why he is being paid such amount of money while at the same time he is demanding for the slashing of salaries offered to others? This is double standard, hypocrisy and selfish of him.
