    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also want to ride on the Statement that has been sought by Sen. Faki I would like the Committee to explain to the House why the SRC in the said Gazette notice has not reviewed upwards the remuneration of various cadre of lowly paid state officers, including Early Childhood Development Education (ECD) teachers, nurses, drivers and other cadre of members of staff. On gazette Notice 5686, I want the Committee to make an inquiry whether there has been a conflict of interest from the Chairperson of the SRC and explain to the House why she has a car loan of Kshs10 million which is far above other key government officers. I am surprised that the SRC chairperson is paying herself a car loan of Kshs10 million compared with the chairperson of Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) for whom she has set a car loan at Kshs8 million. This House will be surprised that in the said Gazette Notice 5686, the car loan for the Director of National Intelligence Commission (NIC) is set at Kshs6 million while the car loan for the SRC Chairperson is set at Kshs10 million. Whereas there has not been any review upwards for the salaries of the lowly paid cadres and members of staff that I have mentioned, including ECD teachers, nurses and drivers, the SRC Chairperson has reviewed her salary upward by a total of Kshs156,075. I want the Members of this House to inquire whether there has been a conflict of interest whereby the SRC has set for herself a mortgage of Kshs40 million whereas the Mortgage of the Inspector General of Police (IG) has been set at Kshs25 million. You will be surprised that the mortgage for the Chief Executive Officer of the EACC in the said Gazette Notice has been set at Kshs30 million. Even for Members of Parliament, our mortgage has been set at Kshs35 million. Who reviewed and set terms for the Chairperson of the SRC? We were here when we converted the position of the SRC Chairperson from part-time to full time. When did she sit to review our own remuneration and benefits? I Also want to know why the commuter allowance for the Senators has been reduced from Kshs284000 downward to Kshs150,000 whereas in the said Gazette Notice, the SRC Chairperson has set for herself an annual leave allowance of Kshs50,000. If you look at the said Gazette Notice, we have been put in category F1. That is where you find Members of Parliament, Judges of the Court of Appeal and Permanent Secretaries."
