    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Section 13(1) of the Constitution, this House resolves that with effect from 1st July, 2006, the monthly salary of a serving President of the Republic of Kenya shall be Kshs2 million., In this day and age, when parastatal heads are earning Kshs1 million or Kshs2 million a month; when Members of Parliament earn close to Kshs1 million a month, it looks rather absurd that the President earns Kshs700,000. The President has a lot of responsibilities. He is the Head of State and should be adequately renumerated. I do not need to belabour the point. I would like my colleagues to support this Motion, so that the monthly salary of the President be Kshs2 million per month. With those few remarks, I beg to move."
