Thank you, Hon. Speaker. There is a matter which I wanted to draw your attention and that of the House to. I may not get an opportunity to raise it because we are approaching the long recess. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute now.

This House has discussed the Second Reading of the Parliamentary Service Commission Bill. There is a lie outside there that the Bill is about increasing the salaries and allowances of Members of this House. That matter has been reported sensationally to the extent where it is almost damaging the reputation of the House and Members of this House. As far as I am concerned and what I know, that Bill has nothing to do with our salaries. It is meant to operationalise the Parliamentary Service Commission. That is one of the last Bills on the matter of the implementation of ...

This topic of talking about the allowances, remuneration and salaries of Members of Parliament has been a juicy topic in this country for long.

For the last six to seven years I have served as a Member of Parliament, not a shilling has been added to my salary; nothing completely. It has even been reduced because when I came to this House, other Members of Parliament never used to pay taxes. But we now pay taxes in ...

I am speaking about this matter to defend the integrity of this House and name. I am a Member of Parliament and the most difficult job to get today in Kenya is to be elected. Many people want to come to this House but they cannot make it because it is the decision of the people; people decide who comes here. So, it is painful to come here and we are told that we are not earning what we deserve and that we are robbing the country or stealing in form of allowances and salaries. There are members of this ...

In conclusion, I would like to tell the nation that we are not increasing our salaries, we are not increasing our allowances and we are not increasing anything. We are only passing the Parliamentary Service Bill so that the Parliamentary Service Commission can work properly and do their functions as required by the Constitution.
