"content": "When this candidate was told: âYou are now earning Kshs1,084,000 plus benefits. This job does not attract that muchâ, he said that he was willing to take a salary of up to Kshs900,0000. That is still double the figure provided in the guidelines. We were made to believe that the Kenya Bureau of Standards earns money by the use of the standard mark. It does not generate enough money. That is why the Bureau does not pay high salaries. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the highest paid officer there earns Kshs290,000. So, you cannot wake up one morning and say: âI will pay the Chief Executive Officer a salary that is four times what the highest earning officer earns in the organisationâ. We had a similar situation when it came to the previous Managing Director."
