Why Moses Kuria does not want the Speaker to pay MPs November salaries

Gatundu South Member of Parliament (MP) Moses Kuria has asked the speaker of the National Assembly not to pay the MPs November salaries during the parliament recession that was to take place on Tuesday 7 November. Moses Kuria said that they do not deserve to get paid since they (MPs) are neither working in their constituencies nor in the parliament.

“Parliament went on recess again today till 29th November as NASA is yet to send its representatives to House Committees. The National Government Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF) committees are not in place as a result. The logical and moral thing for the Speaker to do is NOT to pay us our November salaries. Paying us would amount to stealing from Kenyans. Why pay us when we are neither working in our constituencies nor in parliament? Why reward me simply for staying alive?” Moses Kuria posted on his Facebook page.
