    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, after she does that, she should fix proper salary scales. I do not think that somebody should have left his job to earn Kshs79,000. Some of them are engineers, lawyers and doctors. In fact, even the executive or what we call “the cabinet secretaries”, for lack of a better word, are earning very little money. Some of them are superior civil servants and scholars. In my own county, I think there are two professors. Why should a professor leave his job to serve his people and be paid about Kshs170,000, which is deducted and remains, Kshs120,000, and yet, he is supposed to travel to work and back home in a dignified manner? What we are trying to do, if we are not very careful - and somebody else has already spoken about it - is allowing these people to loot in conspiracy. They will sit down and say: “What are we trying to do here? We are going to kill ourselves. Leta hiyo tender.” We are going to fail just because we do not want to pay a salary. If you do not want to pay your cook, of course, you will not find food. Most of it will be eaten and carried away."
