Supposing by policy, all workers earned between say Sh40,000 and Sh60,000 a month? Everybody from the house help to the President. Would this step down the intense clamour for 'better' pay? The current salary disparity craze makes everyone want a hike. It is obviously unsustainable. But exactly what is a 'better pay'?
'Better' is relative. It is only when others earn more than us that we start the comparison game, triggering the maddening demand for more and more pay. It is human nature.
