Kenyan Taxpayers to Fork Out Millions to Buy Laptops for MPs in New Proposal

Jamani! Uroho (greed) huu utamalizika lini?

Pretty ridiculous for a common Joe to pay too much taxes to buy a laptop for his MP. This is the most ridiculous stealing tactic I have ever heard of! Have these people have no shame?

I can’t even comment on this sh*t.

Is there any way we can disband this politicians? we need to say no as common kenyan

The proposal must and should be rejected! These mp dogs are out there to bankrupt wananchi! The proposal should not see the light of day! Tax payers must resist this stupid move. The MPs should buy their own laptops with their own money!

All the MPs know is to impregnated house maids! That is how these MPs with questionable moral characters have gotten! They are all rotten.

An mp used to be a respected member of the community! Not any more!

The MPs never attended meetings before Covid. Let them not lie to us they will be disciplined enough to attend sessions on laptops.

Actually, we should fire all of them and return to the days chiefs took care of local issues! It will save the country some ton load of money to be used for development projects!

These pigs are the worst sort of animals in the history of man kind!

Nahofia "Imara Daima," "Kora Kanini", "Maxiley", JustMe", "Mundumugo" na "Mkenya Halisi" wakiuliza "Mjuaji" mbona wabunge hawa wanaangushwa na kufunikwa kaburini moja moja bila arifa yoyote? Mmmmmm! Walafi hawa ambao kazi yao ni kumung'unya nchi, rasilmali na utajiri wetu, matukio ni hayo. Kwa miongo kadhaa tangu jadi, viongozi hawa waliochaguliwa na sisi wenyewe, wamekuwa wahujumu wakubwa wa uchumi wetu bila kubonyeza kope. Badala ya wananchi wahusika kuwapiga msasa na kuwachagua wanaofaa, wanahongwa na shilingi mia mbili mia tano hivi. Wanapotekwa na ufisadi na kunenepesha matumbo zao. Wanapoweka nafsi zao mbele badala ya maslahi ya nchi na mwananchi, wanatarajia lipi? Matokea ni laana zinazotokana na vilio vya wachochole. Watumishi wote wa umma ndio waratibu wa mipango ya wizi kupitia asisi za serikali. Diposa katika muda wa miaka miwili iliyopita, takriban wabunge waliozidi wanane wameangamizwa na magonjwa mbalimbali. Yeyote angejiuliza, hawa wezi tumia vyombo walivyo navyo badala ya kuhujumu taifa mchana mchana?

Curious why they can't pay for their own laptops or why it has to be a MacBook Pro given their generous compensation. Will the computers remain the property of the Kenya government? My work laptop remains the property of the company and can be accessed by the company at any time. If I leave the company, the laptop is still their property and can be recycled for someone else.

The MPs preferred laptops to IPads for virtual meetings.Stay home or simply resign why do you need the laptop when most of you can hardly even use an IPad .What important meetings are these that cannot wait till Covid subsides..Normally when in session most of you are present physically but on your phones others do not even bother to contribute and the rest simply do not show up.Regular folk have to use firewood now that the price of cooking gas is through the roof and you speak of upgrading your iPads why not just send all of you home and concentrate on next year’s elections .Use the money for campaigns instead.Thieves

Folks, any right thinking Kenyan should be sickened by this proposal.I keep asking myself how did they get to the point of being some of the highest paid legislators in the world?How did that happen? Kenya a "thirdworld" country cannot afford that.The most disappointing part is that the high salary,and benefits are not commensurate with their service they provide.
This is serious.By giving them all this big monies,for the little they do compels them to improvise ways of wasting that money.Yes on Mipango ya kando,driving big cars,partying too much...And I dont blame these side chicks demanding millions for child support.The problem is that,we end up paying for the Mpigs bad decisions.
If they are serious about serving the public,then,we should slash their benefits by 50%.That still leaves avery substantial amount to satisfy their financial needs,including their high maintenance young things. Anything more is being greedy,and criminal.
So this should be one of the conditions for making them earn your Vote next year. Dont listen to them if they say,them more they earn,the more you will get from them,or sprinkle some paltry change.That's not how it works.They money they give you is actually yours,without interest
If they can run around chasing skirts, with Covid 19 restrictions,certainly they can do their work without taxpayer issued PCs.
We just read about a doctor operating on awoman while supporting her baby on her back.If Mpigs have any compassion,thats where the money should be going.This is amatter of life and death.Computers are actually a luxury if the dont have them by now.My vote is resounding NO,NO.And shame on them for wanting to overburden the taxpayers with non essentials.My two taxed cents.

Why not use current phones and zoom?? That's more than enough.
Why do we need MP in times of devolution anyway? A super mca from each sub county can do that same job at a lower cost.

Comrade MjuAji,
I repeat what I had said before..
JOMO KENYATTA started corruption..
MOI perfected it...
KIBAKI was more interested in economics but didn't help either when it came to corruption.
UHURU KENYATTA had no clue as governance.
Think about the 2 billion KSH being stolen daily by our elected officials.
IT TIME FOR A REVOLUTION. IT'S TIME FOR CHANGE. IF WE HAVE TO TAKE THE ROUTE THAT HAITIANS DID....LET IT BE.

Kangogo must go to Haiti for further training.She can do her country a favor of taming these gangsters.She needs a week’s training on how to TAKE CARE OF BIGGER GROUPS.This might need bigger,high-tech weapon(s).

@ MjuAji:

Kila wakati mimi husubiri sana kwa hamu kusoma hekima, maarifa, na ujuzi wako ambao wewe huchangia hapa. Weledi wako wa kuandika lugha yetu tukufu ya kiswahili hunibidi kila wakati ninaposoma uliyoandikia nikuvulie kofia ya tarabushi. Hongera sana Ndugu kwa kuiinua lugha ya Kiswahili kama lugha mojawapo muhimu na mashuhuri duniani kote kutokana na maandishi yako hapa.

Fikira za wanabunge kupewa kipakatalishi (laptop) yatisha kweli. Nakumbuka Ndugu Uhuru Ngina Kamau akiwaahidi wanafunzi wote wa shule za Kenya kupewa bure na serikali kipakatalishi 2013. Je, jambo hili lilitimizwa au ilikuwa ni siasa na porojo tupu tu?

Nimemshawishi mkuu wa tume ya uchaguzi (IEBC) Ndugu Wafula Chebukati afanye kazi pamoja na Idara ya ujasusi na ile nyingine inayohusika na mambo ya rushwa na hongo ili wote watakaogombea viti vya bunge 2022, wawe tayari wameshakaguliwa na kupatikana bila kuwa na hatia yoyote kutokana na vitendo vyao kabla hawajatangazwa kugombea kiti chochote cha uongozi nchini.

Je, mtu kama ndugu Sonko alipewaje idhini ya kugombea ubunge na ugavana nchini? Kama nionavyo Ndugu MjuuAji, kama wasipowachuja wote watakaogombea uchaguzi 2022, Kenya yetu itazidi kuwa kwenye hali ya kutisha na pia ya ajabu mno.
Je, kuna taasisi nyingine licha ya IEBC inayohusika kuyachunguza maisha ya wagombea viti vya uongozi nchini?
