These are some of the hard facts that Kenyans need to deal with. Why on earth should Kenyan Members of Parliamnet earn more salaries that US senators?
Below is a Kenyan MP's total (original) official 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 equates to USD $17,742
CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT A Kenyan MP earns $212,904 per year!!
And as if that is not enough, each MP gets the following EXTRAS:
Car loan = Sh 3.3 Million
House loan = sh 10 million
Now COMPARE THIS WITH A US SENATOR's SALARY:
USA senator’s salary is $13,750 per month totalling to $165,000/year.
Think about this the next time you are casting your vote.
Long live Kenya, the island of peace in Africa.
