[kictanet] Who will buy this Sh1.8m TV?

[Warigia Bowman]

I think that it is actually a crime that our ministers and MPs get paid
this much.

According to the World Bank, Kenya is a low income country, and 45.9
percent of the country lives in poverty, and the GNI per capita is $820
dollars.

That means that this TV is worth almost 20 times (TWENTY TIMES) than the
average annual pay of the average Mwananchi.

People, am I the only one who thinks it is shocking that our Ministers get
paid 20 times more than the national average pay for a YEAR in one month?
