    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, the point I am drawing the attention of the House and, indeed, the nation to is that because of decisions of the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC), the salaries of bodies, including important offices like those of Members of Parliament, were reduced while those of commissioners were increased. Let us be honest. Before, Members of Parliament were earning over Kshs1 million each. The salary of a Member of Parliament was reduced to Kshs520,000. When that was happening, the salaries of commissioners moved from Kshs380,000 to Kshs970,000. In fact, the salaries of some of them, like Mr. Charles Nyachae, are over Kshs1 million. That confirms not only incompetence on the part of the Commission, but because we are dealing with this lady, who was the acting Chief Executive Officer (CEO), her incompetence to deal with the issue of harmonisation of salaries is the core mandate of the Commission. We may take it for granted, but it is a very serious issue. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
