I think that it is actually a crime that our ministers and MPs get paid this much. <br><br>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. <br>
<br>That means that this TV is worth almost 20 times (TWENTY TIMES) than the average annual pay of the average Mwananchi. <br><br>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? <br>
