We all agree that kenya has a constitution that was drafted by men and women who did not have our interests at heart. But no constitution is perfect, that's why amendments come handy from time to time.
The one amendment we need most is an article prohibiting members of parliament from voting salary or benefit incliments and benefiting from it. This may help our self serving fatcats from fleecing us dry in the name of public service.Do you know that "justice " Rigiera can afford to pay off US secretary of state?. According to public records, Dr. Rice earns 190,000 per year. If my math is correct, that is in the ream of 15 million kenya shillings and change. Our retired justice earns kshs 3 million per month or usd 468,000. Heck, he even earns more than George Bush!
Until we change our mindset about public service, we will continue to pay some hefy numbers with zero service. Just for your laughs, Kiraitu said that MPs want to pay taxes, but they need sometime to work it out, so that they are not embarassed. And mind you he has a masters degree from Harvard..... never mind so is George bush.
