I'd advise him to first rein in the politicians. The day it became fashionable for mpigs to dispense with all public opinion and fix their own pay, that same day it became nigh impossible to deny a pay increment to any other unlicensed employee. After all how do you justify there being no money to pay teachers or nurses but it's always there for mpigs incessant demands?

Secondly, of the 'lowly' 21% currently allocated as development expenditure, a significant portion still remains unutilized and has to be returned to treasury every financial year. This in a country with pressing socioeconomic needs where we frequently complain of lack of funds for this or the other. If I gave you Ksh. 100 today and you utilized only about half of it, on what basis then would you justify your asking me to give you Ksh.500 yet day in, day out you're unable to utilize the 100bob?

Finally, there's too much wastage in the management if our public affairs. Just a few short years ago, there was an order to freeze gov't purchase of vehicles exceeding a certain engine capacity. Look around you today and tell me if this is being implemented/enforced. At the same time, walk around many gov't compounds and tell me why we have practically new gov't vehicles being abandoned for simplistic problems such as a worn out battery, broken door lock, faulty braking system, cracked windscreen, etc. you want practical examples of this? I dare you to visit the MoPW compound in Meru, the Kangundo DMoH compound, Youth Affairs compound in a town I forget, etc. while at it, why does the gov't have to pay inflated prices for literally everything?

Ni hayo machache tu kwa sasa. Ahsante.

Do away with messengers, tea gals, cleaners and out source some of these services. In that they save on equipment etc.

Reduce some of these parastatals eg the boards such as Athi river services board ...tana bla bla, what do they do?

Trips abroad should have a MAX limit.

Conferences in hotels should end. These govt offices have conference rooms that should be utilized. Adopt technology by having video/tele conferencing. When these people go to places like Naivasha and Mombasa they are paid an allowance

IMO, some services should never be privatized e.g water, power, education.

massive retrenchment program in the cards...plus early retirements and review of retirement age to a digitally acceptable one

hapo umenena. A parastatal I haveconsulted for has been of late sending their staff for out of the country trips. At any one time there's someone out for a conference, training etc.

MPs have published a controversial Bill seeking to change the Constitution so that they can continue setting their salaries.
The Constitution (Amendment) Bill 2013 aims to remove legislators, members of county assemblies and judicial officials from the list of State officers, removing the mandate of determining their compensation from the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC).

Kenyan civil servants are better paid than their peers in this part of the sahara. And that includes teachers. And keep watching retrenchements will be happening soon.

I'll just tell you keep watching. Why do you think there's so much noise about the wage bill? So that we do what??? We're being prepared for matters to come.

On civil servants. Just do a google search.
In the oil Nigeria - a police constable now earns between N22,000 and N27,000 depending on his length of service. A constable in the Ghanian Police Service is earning cidi 720
