Kenyans on Twitter on Wednesday raised a debate on the highly rising Kenya’s wage bill.
They argued out that the high salaries paid to political leaders in the country are the route cause to the highly rising wage bill.
They started sharing out different solutions that should be enacted in the government to gab the situation which has been increasing the cost of living among the common “mwananchi.”
They suggest that the country has to reduce several elective posts and political appointees so as to reduce the amount of money budgeted for salaries every financial year.
Many came into an agreement of getting the MCA and women representatives positions scrapped off since they claim that the MCAs are the most corrupt leaders in the current systems of government.
Here are some of the suggestions they were giving.
47 Governors
47 Deputies
57 senators

1500 MCAs
All with Huge salary + allowance and several assistants at Taxpayer’s expenses#WageBillFromHell— Lazooj (@Lazooj) September 26, 2018
