Kenyans' reactions to Wamuchomba’s statement on MP’s pay cut (plus video).
 |
| Kiambu Women Rep.-Elect Gathoni Wamuchomba. |
In the interview, the legislator affirmed that she would
support a bill to trash SRC’s pay cut proposals for the 12th House
saying that the reason she deserved to be paid well was because ‘she worked, fought it out and also using her
resources to be an MP thus needed to be honoured for what she had been able to
achieve’.
In response to this, Kenyans on social media reacted angrily
with some of them saying that it too early for her to demand for money even
before taking oath of office. The ire was so dire that some residents were even
asking of legal advice on how they would stop her from being sworn in as the
Kiambu MP. There were reports too of a group of Ruiru and Juja residents who
were already collecting signatures to ignite the recall clause as per Part IV
of the Elections Act 2011.
NB:
Part IV of the Elections Act 2011 says; the electorate in a
county or constituency have a right to recall their representative on only
three grounds:
1)violation of provisions of Chapter Six of the
Constitution,
2) mismanagement of public resources and
3)if convicted under the Elections Act.
A recall of a Member of Parliament shall only be initiated
upon a judgment or finding by the High Court confirming the grounds. Otherwise,
such a recall can only be initiated 24 months after the election of the MP and
not later than 12 months before the next General Election.
The following are some of the reactions by Kenyans on Social
Media;-
Evans - Over 600K monthly is reducing MPs to beggars?😳 Some of these MPs elect are nuts! The Kenyan
legislators should not be debating and the upward review of their salaries at
this moment while about 40% of the citizenry are living on less than a dollar a
day.
They should instead be coming up with motions and programmes
on wealth creation and distribution. If we create more wealth and distribute it
evenly, people will not need the MPIGs' salaries for funerals and harambees.
But MPIGs want the status quo to be worshipped and adored
like demigods when they contribute in functions and give handout to desperate
masses.
