They are eating plentiful, the Members of Parliament. They MPs has salaries, cars, servants and all other perks covered by the taxpayer. The MPs are the ones that is getting sitting fees and other stipulated funds for doing their job. While also ensuring family members and friends getting appointed. Therefore, the whole system is rigged and we can all see it.
This isn’t only for the ruling regime, the ruling party… not this involves everyone who touches the grounds of the August House. The 11th Parliament is following where the old ones left off. The MPs are getting funds, salaries and perks beyond imagination. They can vote on special votes and get big deals, which the average citizen could only dream off. That is happen with ease as the foxes is the guards of the hen-house.
It doesn’t matter if the Speaker and Deputy Speaker is getting refurbished houses or lavish vacations. The Leader of Opposition and Commissioners are getting “service awards”. No, they are all eating of the plate and enjoying it while they can.
The MPs knows this and that’s why they fight so hard to get elected. They know they will get money for favourable votes. There are known “suits” and “envelopes” coming their way if they follows the programme. That’s how the system is built and the greed encircle the whole house.
We are just seeing how they take care of themselves. The salaries and sitting fees has risen over the years. The MPs has ensured they are getting paid and even more money for whatever needs they have. This being cars, drivers, secretaries and phones. There is nothing that isn’t covered while they are still earning millions of shillings doing their job.
The MPs and the Cabinet members have a lavish lifestyle. If you are an retired Vice-President, Speaker or Minister there will be perks too. They will still be paid better than most and can live without any fear whatsoever. That’s another reason to fight for and be loyal to the cause, as the monetary gains are prolonged long after your term was in office.
This is why MPs wants to linger in Parliament. They know they can re-negotiate and vote on their own perks. They can ensure higher salaries and better vehicles for that matter. There is nothing that can stop them. It is the price they have for “serving”.
The greed of the MPs is obvious and clear. The same MPs that claim they need the big salaries and perks to cover electoral debt. While that might be true for some, but possibly not for all. As they are able to invest and buy real-estate while being in office. The MPs can suddenly own businesses and be investors themselves. Because the salaries and compensations are so big they can use that to enrich themselves further. That’s what they are doing…
This is the system that Museveni and his NRM has built. They are all just there to eat. It doesn’t matter if it is NRM MPs or Opposition. They can get wealthy and eat. It is their turn and we are just seeing it unfold. Peace.
