My mother, uncle or neighbour are earning the same figure they earned the day they retired. The economy of this country has changed. You cannot give somebody half salary of what they were earning in 1995. The figures must match with the economics of this country. If the District Commissioner (DC) retires now with a salary of Kshs100,000, they are sure of going home with Kshs30,000.
