This is comedy at its best

2 Weeks ago, on this very forum, talking politics was like going to war.

Everyone who's complaining on this post was in "love" with someone simply because they were from a particular party.

Now you come here to complain?

You voted for these fellows. Heck some even started blogging for them. You got your MP's, live with it.

Unfortunately, my man, woman lost in all. So nimekubali.

MPs are entitled to a car loan of Sh7 million, and a mortgage of Sh20 million, both to be repaid at three per cent interest by June 2017. The MPs would have to repay the loan in four years and three months.

If an MP takes all the loans, they would have to repay between Sh545,000 and Sh570,000 a month from their taxable pay of Sh532,500.


They are using the loans as an excuse! How about reducing the entitlement to 4M for the car and 10M for the mortgage? and do they have to live in the leafy places? indeed they should be living in their respective constituencies.


This is the worst crap I have heard in a long time. Who said they have to take all the loans? They shud read it as "upto" meaning they may even chose not to pick it! Nktmpigs!

UMK must put a stop to this by emphasizing the importance of the independence of institutions!!

I hope he gets out the big whip and deals with this fellows. And he should do the same thing he did with Shebesh and Sonko when they deserted baba yao!

He should tell them to their face that the Salaries commission has spoken, it's independence is to be respected, there are more pressing things to do, their salary is MORE than sufficient given the size of the Kenyan economy, he will NEVER sign a bill seeking to disband the commission or increase members salaries and who ever doesn't like it can quit and go back to his high paying job - never mind some are former makangas, kiosk owners and some have never had a real job or thriving business to speak about!

They should be suspended immediately.After all we can do without Mps,shenators.

There is a way public can pass a law. One of the legal minds to help us out and we get done.

Picture this. You apply for a job, you know how much it will be paying. You sign on the dotted line, you are advised on the perks and benefits. Then before you start familiarizing yourself with the task at hand, given a new structure in the company, you start demanding for an increment. Theatre of the Absurd.

We the taxpayers need to quit yapping and get down to working harder for the MPs who we have just voted in. The truth of the matter is that, the Salary Commission did analysis and realised that there was no money to pay MPs what we were paying them given the expanded government in the counties. If MPs get a pay rise, it has to be funded with higher taxes...

They are using the loans as an excuse! How about reducing the entitlement to 4M for the car and 10M for the mortgage? and do they have to live in the leafy places? indeed they should be living in their respective constituencies.

Using loan repayment as an excuse is a lorry load of human cow dung!!! Laughing out loudly d'oh!

I am sure that if a majority of Wazuans/Kenyans talked to their bank manager, they will "realize" that they have qualified for a loan they haven't taken [yet]! You din't just take a loan because you have qualified for one or one is offering you one! You must know exactly what you want to do with the money and how you are planning to repay it.

And these bloody leeches are getting the loan at 3% interest p.a. Who else gets loans at those rates in Kenya??? Even University students [who don't know if they will EVER get a job and some from extremely poor families] get loans from HELB at 4%. And the loan is not even guaranteed!!

And some of the leeches were there in the previous parliament and got another car and house loan courtesy of Kenyan tax payers!!! Now they want another car and house courtesy of same overtaxed Kenyans. And they actually even want us to pay for them the loan [through a salary increment]? Didn't we just pay their taxes??

I propose we actually take away the right to tax payer subsidised loans and if they want one the go to a bank like their employer [you and I] does!

And who uses such an argument to get a salary hike. You go tell your employer that you are planning to take a car and house loan and you are demanding he hikes your salary so that you can be able to repay the loans. You would come out as the biggest idiot south of Sahara and North of Limpopo. Which is exactly what those members agitating for a hike are!
