Why should we pay rich Raila, Kalonzo millions?

Guys, the government wants to tax the small-small pensions of ordinary people. At the same time, the Cabinet Secretary of Finance wants to dish out big monies to an elite group of aging men as a thank you for their ‘service’ in state office. Between them, Mwai Kibaki, Moody Awori, Kalonzo Musyoka and Raila Odinga could take home Sh785 million in pension every year. 

The offices of Messrs Odinga and Kalonzo have also been allocated Sh72 million each to cater for employee wages, insurance, the purchase and maintenance of vehicles, fuel, and office furniture. If you’re thinking, ‘which offices?’ then we are together. What do these offices do? And how do those of us who are not employed by them benefit?
