Compensate Our Spouses.

As the Salaries and Remuneration Commission seeks to curb expenses especially on foreign trips and allowances by members of county assemblies, a member of the Embu County Assembly is pushing for more allowances. These are not ordinary allowances but are strange and weird in nature. This is about the compensation of their wives which is of pure rhetoric and lacks substance in its own self. How can a person of such caliber demand for his wife to be paid allowances for the loneliness they suffer while their husbands are busy serving the public? When you were campaigning didn’t you know what you were going for? With such a demand, the MCA means that he is unable to care for his wife and as such to have made a decision to request his wife to be cared for, should also mean that the bedroom matters (conjugal rights) should also but taken care of by anyone who has the guts to.

Runyenjes Central Member of the County Assembly (MCA) Steve  Munene argues that their spouses need compensation

Who will then compensate the poor village woman whose husband is working tirelessly to make sure his family doesn’t lack anything? To our dear MCA, you were not elected to go ad fight for the rights of your wife and family but to serve the electorate. Stand up as a man and take care of your wives’ needs and not shaming your own family with such remarks.
