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
The momentum behind this initiative currently demonstrates that there is widespread public dissatisfaction with the prevailing compensation structure for our representatives. 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.
November 12, 2008
The petition has reached one hundred signatures today. This response confirms that many people are concerned about the current disparity in public compensation.

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.
