The gap between what the politicians and common man earns is the problem. In this scenario such high salaries are immoral, unethical, unreasonable and corruption. It is robbing the national coffers to afford the politicians a luxurious life. The pay hike was unjustified because the President had not complained or asked for the rise. Politicians should set a good example and put the interest of the common people before theirs (politicians). The politicians seem to live in a completely different world than the people who elected them. True, Kibaki is helping the country bake a bigger cake but should he take 465 times more than the ordinaly person?Dr. Stephen Kabera Karanjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13431009080897380430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32060070.post-74679725560743709632006-12-08T20:31:00.000+03:002006-12-08T20:31:00.000+03:00"Why can't these people retain their morals and pr..."Why can't these people retain their morals and principles once they step into government? "<br /><br />Gathara, you have raised the classic game theory question. <br /><br />The reason they cannot "retain their morals and principles once they step into gova" is this:<br /><br />Those morals, those principles, those promises that were made ... were made ex-ante.<br /><br />Ex-ante committments are NEVER credible, especially in politics. <br />They are merely there to seduce, to be used to gain power.<br />Ex-post, that is when we observe what "self-interested behaviour" really means ... it is happening with the current gova., and even the ones ODM people, should they win next year [God Forbid] will do EXACTLY the opposite of what they are saying now. That is a guarantee.<br /><br />Point being, ordinary mwananchi in the midst of all these political games, is the one who suffers.<br /><br />I think the key problem is a collective action one , that is, how do we make all these Kituyis, Murungis, Anyonas, Odingas, etc... act for the benefit of teh country, or if you believe Adam Smith's assertion that all individuals act in self-interested behaviour, then we can mull over this: are their self-interests aligned with the interests of teh country? Can they ever be?jmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13418957794710757943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32060070.post-54496847479484757622006-12-08T17:08:00.000+03:002006-12-08T17:08:00.000+03:00Once again the "political pundits"on mashada have ...Once again the "political pundits"on mashada have outdone themselves .so kibaki got a pay raise whats the big deal the guy now earns 2million shilling+ a month and the economy is growing at 5+% . The anger is that half the population of kenya earns less than a dollar a day <br /><br />i am not being insensitive. i feel for those guys but what does kibaki salary have to do with it . lets assume we can strip kibaki of his salary and distribute it to all kenyans <br /><br />at 2 million shilling a month that is 24 million shillings a year <br />kenyans population is 32 million that means we would each get <br />yes a grand total of <br /><br />75 cents each per year <br /><br />i will not even go to divide it by month or by day . so you see when you look at the economic impact of his so called "eating" its really nothing paid or unpaid it wont increase or reduce the cost of bread in kenya. the man is doing a good job so why not pay him for his good work and motivate him to work harder . <br /><br /><br />This is a none issue .ODM is so into cheap politics its not funny.Rather than complain about the salary why not give us the magic economic formular that will take that 2 million and pay lectures ,civil servants and uplift the millions living with less than a dollar a day . that formular must be really impressive <br /><br /><br />WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE A MOTIVATED PRESIDENT WORKING FOR YOU OR AN EXTRA 75 CENTS A YEAR SENT TO YOUR ACCOUNTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32060070.post-21822964937946705352006-12-08T13:04:00.000+03:002006-12-08T13:04:00.000+03:00Gathunuku,

Is it the case that Kenyans are singularly unable to resist corruption? I think it is more likely that the system we have lends itself to abuse and corrupts all who venture there. <br /><br />That said, I am not trying to excuse the abhorrent behaviour of our MPs. I just want to understand it.Gatharahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05615274760892257015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32060070.post-68139926697173474402006-12-08T11:01:00.000+03:002006-12-08T11:01:00.000+03:00Greed, pure and simple.Greed, pure and simple.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
