Stating that they spent a lot of money in campaigning, or that they left higher paying jobs and therefore ought to have higher pay and allowances in order to recoup their money is not only baseless but a justification to use public position to unjustifiably enrich themselves,\u201d a statement from CRECO\u2019s Executive Secretary Wambua Kawive reads.<\/p>\n<p>Adding their voice to that of KNCHR, CRECO have called on the MPs unhappy with their sh535,000 pay to resign instead of attempting to strong-arm the SRC, \u201cIf they do not want to serve their country and her people then they should let those who want to serve to do so.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>CRECO has called on Linturi to withdraw his petition or risk being forced out of public office, \u201cLet him and his cohorts know that Article 104 gives the electorate the power and right to recall the member of parliament representing their constituency before the end of the end of the relevant House of Parliament \u2013 this is tenable despite the 10th Parliament making a weak provision on it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Three days ago, Linturi made public his intention to see the members of the SRC removed from office for what he termed, &#8220;discriminating against members of the National Assembly&#8221; by revising their salaries downward.<\/p>\n<p>The members of the 10th parliament, of which Linturi was a part, earned a gross salary of Sh851, 000 but the members of the 11th parliament will now be earning Sh535, 000 before tax.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NAIROBI, Kenya, April 21 \u2013 The National Civil Society Congress has criticised the Central Organisation of Trade Unions (COTU) for supporting legislator Mithika Linturi\u2019s bid to disband the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC).
