"content": "representatives we have today, most of them are educated. Some of them are engineers. Like in my constituency, I have four and one is an engineer. Two of them are Bachelor of Commerce graduates. Asking these people to work on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and even sitting in committees and at the end of it all you pay them a taxable income of Kshs 79,000, which will come down to Kshs60,000, is unbelievable. It is inhuman. We need as we talk about ours, to start also telling Serem she was unfair and her commission was unfair to these Kenyans. Finally, we need to remind the SRC that before elections, what she had put as salaries for these representatives was much higher than what she recommended as their pay. They did not know that when they get to those county assemblies to legislate, to oversight and to represent people, that they were only going to take home kshs.60,000. It is completely unfair. Thank you."
