President Kenyatta ‘betrays’ MPigs

“I will not sign it!” That is the message President Uhuru Kenyatta has passed to MPs concerning the controversial  Parliamentary Service Bill 2018 which proposes more benefits for MPs.

The President, speaking at a rally in Ndenderu, Kiambu County, after attending a function for the graduation of former alcohol addicts said he sides with Kenyans on the issue.

Na mimi nitasema, najua wengine watakasirika na mimi, kuna mambo ingine watu wanajaribu kupitisha huko Bunge. Na mimi vile nimeskia wananchi wakisema, wanasema wamechoka na viongozi kujiongeza mishahara. Na mimi nasema, mimi naungana na wananchi, na marehe, nie no nga miguithia,” he said. (I have heard there are things some people are trying to pass in Parliament. I have heard wananchi saying they are tired of leaders increasing their own salaries and I am on the side of the wananchi. When they bring it (PSC bill) I will reject it.)

He asked leaders to stop being selfish and put the needs of Kenyans first.

“As leaders, we should not be more concerned about how to bring more wealth to ourselves, but should instead prioritize the needs of our people,” said President Kenyatta.

“Every leader has a responsibility to uplift the lives of the millions of Kenyans who look up to us as their leaders & representatives.”
