Political tribe always laughs last

Five billion shillings. Sh5,000,000,000. That's the outrageous amount that Members of Parliament awarded themselves as a 'send-off' package to be disbursed at the end of the current term.

If you break it down, it comes to Sh10,000,000 per legislator. To put this in perspective, our 416 senators and Members of the National Assembly have deemed themselves deserving of a collective Sh5 billion, meanwhile the Government refuses to pay 5,000 doctors Sh8 billion.
