you are right GG. Salaries are still too high. I also suspect that Mpigs will find away to make up for this loss.This will come in form of corruption,and doing even much less work than what their salaries warrant.If this fail, they will again vote for themselves much higher benefits...
Someone on this forum has suggested that Mpigs should only get insurance coverage,and their work should be service to the community. Well, this is a good idea,if we can elect those that are willing to volunteer these services.
The current Mpigs are not going to take that kind of revolutionary idea laying down.All in all, it comes down to what the voters want to elect.
Good start Ms Serem and…

Good start Ms Serem and commissioners. My you have another review downwards before the incoming Mpigs, MCA thieves, Senetors and governors take office and vote an increase for themselves. If they are truly about serving the Mwananchi, then they should not cry foul. Average mwananchi hardly make Sh 20,000
MP should be a community…

MP should be a community service job with health insurance.
