    "content": "understand what we earn. There is a misconception among our citizenry through social media and newspapers that we earn huge salaries which is not true. This is as a result of misinformation. Therefore, the media should give the right information whenever there is an increment or some allowances for Members. There should be proper communication on what exactly Members of Parliament earn in terms of allowances and mileage. I understand that there are counties where Members do not earn mileage, but this is not reported on in the social media. For example, Members from Nairobi City County and Kajiado County do not get mileage allowance, but most people think every Member is being given. So, information needs to be well communicated for people to understand. Another issue that the PSC needs to understand in terms of our welfare is communication. We need to understand what is supposed to be done at what time through our offices. Further, the PSC should look into the welfare of our offices in our counties. Members who have offices in their counties need to be given human resource that have certain expertise and who would help them in service delivery. Otherwise, we congratulate the nominated Commissioners and wish them all the best. We know the Members who have been nominated to the PSC have expertise and we shall look upon them to improve this important institution."
