As things stand, we are not sure whether finance minister was just playing the cloud to sound like a good guy by suggesting that he will tax them like the rest of us or he meant what he said.
I want to assume the former. If the kibaki administration wanted to tax the Mps, all what baba jimmy would do was to sign an executive order and it would become law. Harry Truman signed one to desegregate the military way before civil rights movement became fashionable.
But just like the UK that education most of our elites, they want to behave just like their former colonial masters. They want all the allowances just like the queen.They want to build roads, hospitals and fund schools but please do not mention their money.
Do you also notice the death silence by all the mighty and famous on the issue? What is the opinion of Uhurus,Karuas and the rest? When it comes to issues affecting the politicians stealing from us, my friends there is no ODM and PNU. They form a good coalition of the willing which happens to be the majority. As i said on this blog, i look forward for the days when the Mps will be attending parliament at least one every three months, because i know they will not have time to steal my money or erode my liberties.
