"content": "The salaries for Members of Parliament is public knowledge. For someone who earns Ksh100,000, if you cap their contribution to 2,500, it means that they will not contribute to the earlier proposed 3 per cent. If you divide Ksh2,500 by Ksh500,000 you get 0.005 per cent. This means that this capping was advantageous to the people who earn more but punitive to those who earn less. For this reason, the Committee recommends for total deletion of this capping because anyone would have argued that it was discriminatory for people who earn less and advantageous to those who earn more."
