I strongly disagree with National Treasury Cabinet Secretary Henry Rotich that effecting the pay rise for teachers as directed by the court would bring the country to its knees.
This is far from the truth. Why does Mr Rotich want Kenyans to believe that paying teachers, civil servants and all other workers meaningful wages would be a waste of funds? Does it mean that when teachers and other workers get better remuneration the money goes to waste, but when our legislators and senior government officials earn even more than what they need, that is justice?
