"content": "It is time that we harmonize the salaries. I agree with Sen. Murungi, the Senator for Meru. Teachers are public servants and state officers like everybody else. The Salaries and Remuneration Commission must cut across. If the Clerk of the National Assembly is in Job Group âKâ, a teacher in that job group must earn the same allowances and the same salary. That is the only way we shall be predictable and determinate. We shall be able to know where we are coming from and where we are going. The other day I saw a very reckless move. The police have been allowed to form a trade union. I am not aware of any country where persons who work in such a critical sector in a country can have a trade union. Tomorrow the police will say that the criminals can have a field day until their salaries are increased. Next day, the army will form a trade union. When we tell them to go to Kismayu, they will demand for a salary increment first. Madam Temporary Speaker, we must find a way of harmonizing public salaries. I support."
