Mutua's office is not even defined the constitution in the 1st place, can you propose to reduce salaries which you have not even paid for one month????>.....ABK!!!

I wait for the day Mutua is kicked out of his office...that day is coming soon.

Then let him come to me begging for advertising contracts...I'll fix him!

@Insurgent if you're allegiance or integrity can be bought, then it doesn't matter how much you make, if you're corrupt, you're corrupt.

Kweli mtupu! No man who works for money gives is best.

These commissioners should not be paid anything more than 500k nett (after taxation) a month.

Pay, though important, should not be the driving force in a job like theirs.

In our circumstances with Kenyans starving to death, it is immoral for public servants to demand to be paid millions each 30 calender days!

Arent the same people who have always complained when MPs increased teir perks.

Why is it bad for MPs and good for CIC commissioners!

I am told the constitutions has created many positions for all manner of commissioners.
If all of them were to be paid as the CIC fellows demand, a huge hole will be left in our pockets.

This matter was handled in the formal way with several letters being exchanged - discussing the issue, till CIC called a press conference to cry wolf!

Only then did Alfred Mutua react to the CIC claims - to state the Governments position - upon prodding by Journalists.

I just afforded!!

On a more serious note, would you rather the figure is more or less.

How much do you think we should pay all these commissioners as numerous as they are.

In my understanding the bands being bandied around eg Band A1 starts from about 399,000/= to about 900,000/= with a 10 per cent annual increment, which to me makes sense. The real question is - what is the entry point for these Commissioners? Surely it shouldnt be 900,000/= plus allowances!

Their contracts should be honored.

bwenyenye, Why do you think that their contracts and terms of service are not within the law?
And they are special - they got elected through a competitive process. We are however free to hire whatever crap we can afford.

I hear the bugger earns upwards of Kes 1M.....for what???

@For Sport, I feel you. These guys left hefty jobs for what they are doing. However, my contention is that there is a law that stipulates how much consitutional office holders are to be paid. They should follow that law. Otherwise, they will lose all integrity to demand that others follow the law. It is a matter of Principle here. I can assure you, that everyone is waitng for them to break ONE law and all hell breaks lose! That is my submission. What they have to offer this country is MUCH more than the few hundred thousand shillings per month.The need to first offer integrity. If they insist on getting those perks before the law is ammended, then they will not finish the race they have started so well.
My lords, I submit humbly.
