Duh! Nadhani wabunge wa Kenya wanaongoza duniani kwa marupurupu. Wiki iliyopita kulikuwa na habari kuwa wanawake maskini Kenya wanaoshindwa kulipa bili zao za kujifungua hospitali wanafungwa! Hivi Kenya inajali maskini wao au ndo wanategemea wafadhii kutoka nchi za nje ziwasaidie?
Nadhani watu watauanua kuwa wabunge Kenya sasa maana hiyo 'package' ya mbunge ni nzito!

Kenyan MPs Vote Themselves $100,000 Retirement Bonus
MPs in Kenya have awarded themselves a $107,000 (£65,000) retirement bonus in one of the last sessions of parliament before a general election in March.
The package will also provide them with an armed guard, a diplomatic passport and access to airport VIP lounges.
It is the second time the MPs have voted for "a golden handshake" - President Mwai Kibaki vetoed an attempt last year after widespread protests.
The MPs are among the highest paid in Africa, earning $13,000 a month.
The average yearly salary in Kenya is about $1,700.
The latest vote was passed on Wednesday with fewer than 30 MPs in the chamber - itself refurbished at a cost of $12m last year - according to parliamentary transcripts released on Thursday.
The retirement package is the same as that approved in October, but this time the MPs have also recommended bonuses for the president - almost $300,000 in cash and allowances - the vice-president and the prime minister.
When he vetoed the previous bill, Mr Kibaki said it was "untenable in the prevailing economic circumstances in the country".
The Salaries Review Commission told Kenyan media it was uncertain whether the vote was constitutional, while civil society groups have reacted with outrage.
The executive director of Kenya's Human Rights Commission. Atsango Chesoni, said the package was "preposterous and in completely bad taste".
During its term, the Kenyan parliament repeatedly dismissed the wage demands of striking public sector workers, arguing that the funds were not available.

Kumbe kuwa mbunge Kenya inafaida kubwa hivi. Doh ukipata umeukata! Hakuna kusota tena!
Da Chemi mbona wanauana tayari!
Wabunge wa Kenya ndio wanaolipwa mishahara mikubwa zaidi duniani. Kama sikosei, mshahara wa mbunge nchini humo ni sawa na shilingi milioni 20 za Tanzania.
Hawa jamaa ndio maana lazima wachinjane kila uchaguzi unapokaribia. Kama alivyosema mdau hapo juu, washaanza kuuana.
Utasikia mgombea fulani kafa kwa ajali ya gari, ugonjwa wa moyo, mmh!
