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 these MPs are earning are from donors and will be paid back to a single drop by Kenyan tax payers including your old mother. 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 they believe that wanainchi will do nothing. The public have not demanded their rights. Please surprise them this time. 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/public to look into the money these two countries give to Kenya. Kenyan economy cannot sustain this. This petition may help stop this if you sign it. Dr. Barack O. Abonyo

This collective response confirms that the citizenry is no longer content to remain passive regarding the misappropriation of national resources. We must now prepare to leverage this substantial interest to ensure our demands reach the appropriate authorities.

1.2 million a month is insane. My brother has been looking for work for years and these guys get car maintenance allowance higher than a yearly salary. Shame on them.

This is pure theft. How can they justify these amounts while the common mwananchi is struggling to even buy unga. Greedy people.
