Nothing will change with this bunch of MPs and nothing will change with the next bunch that we elect. For as long as we elect tribal chiefs and their cronies we will continue to reap the pain of their arrogance and impunity. The weakest amongst us will suffer in tears and sadness as one injustice is placed on top of another with scandals like angloleasing and goldenberg and missing army tanks and so on. But that is the Kenyan way. We sit in mats as the drivers break every single rule in the highway code so that he can avoid the traffic jams. Why do we expect MPs to behave any different? Carolyn may have worn that black t-shirt but really it is MPs who are asking us....mta do?

It is amazing we complain about the trash we elect, We sell our votes for a paltry Clan & tribe affiliations- period! Some of our elected leaders are disbarred lawyers, Road contractors with a shaddy background, Actual Thieves, While the rest have actually no track record of achievement in any sector. We then give them the mandate to legislate and write policy on our Behalf, Debate issues concerning our future_ frankly Kenyans and Africans at large deserve the leaders that we get! I will not name any names, but Our leaders go to parliament and do exaly what is expected of thieves and Crooks. If we were indeed a decent society we would elect good people, however we are missing the forest for the trees in sight, and we have failed to examine ourselves from the inside. Should our leaders pay taxes- Well we elected the law makers and they enacted a law representing us and facilitating them not to pay taxes so there-kenyans they should not pay taxes,What did you expect? Daaaaaaaaa! Untill such a time that we shall stop electing tribal Chiefs who lead our tribes to hack each otheres with crude weapons, tribal chiefs who only want to be addresed Mkubwa and Mheshimiwa while not serving- My dear brothers and Sisters- we elected tribal chiefs what do you epect from a village qwack Kenya & Africa have the leaders we deserve- we elect them based on crookedness how can they then be expected to be sraight? wake up and smell the coffee Hi All!

Personally I think MPs should not be paid, so tat only the most altruistic would want to be one !

All the same the leaders should have some sort of moral authority on this matter. Morality and Kenyan politicians? Not happening. Waki did an excellent job, and people are getting all jittery about it, which I like. As for implementation, if the tribunal or whatever is local, get set and relocate in 2012.

Heck if I had the chance not to pay taxes, I wouldn't..Would you? As for the waki report, I was watching "world reknown" journalist Jeff 'all kenyan all the time' Koinange jana and he was interviewing Ms Ndungu and she was of the opinion that whether Kenya likes it or not, Hague can intervene and do the needful because its us who made the election violence an international issue! Am salivating at the prospect! I still don’t understand why guys are furious at MPs for not wanting to pay taxes- what did they expect?
