President Kibaki Turns Down $110,000 Bonus For Greedy Legislators

Kenyans protest lawmakers' bonus award of $110,000

President Mwai Kibaki of Kenya has rejected the $110,000 that greedy Kenyan legislators awarded to themselves, exposing the ugly truth about the corrupt enrichment of African legislators at the expense of poor citizens whose salaries don't even come to one percent the income that these legislators make.  Already, Kenyan legislators enjoy one of the highest salaries that legislators make, about $10,000 or $120,000 annually.

That figure is almost seven times the salary that President Robert Mugabe makes a year, despite all the criticism about his governance.

On one hand, it would appear that Nigerians have accepted their fate, while on the other, for now, because of protests by Kenyans, Kibaki has done a Robin Hood on these legislators, rejecting their unsavoury glutinous ambitions; but if history is a lesson, we know these kleptomaniacs will try again.(Read more)
