Kalonzo demands answers on alleged exaggerated salaries National Assembly
Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka has stated that he is demanding answers in response to allegations that the National Treasury paid exorbitant salaries.
Kalonzo’s statement appears to follow the National Dialogue Committee (NADCO) hearing Controller of Budget Margaret Nyakang’o, who allegedly claimed that her salary was budgeted at three times the actual amount she is paid.
“Exaggerations are in the national treasury and let me just give one example, when I was doing the budget for consolidated funds services, this is where my salary is paid from, I found out my salary was budgeted at three times what I’m paid,” Nyakang’o said.
“I’m the only state officer in my institution, so there is nothing like confusion there, I’m all alone. I asked why the budget is showing three times what my annual salary is, and it was like that for all state officers. I have not received an explanation to date.”

Kalonzo stated on Saturday during a church service at Umoja II SDA Church that Kenyans are awaiting the National Treasury’s explanation.
“The other day we called experts and a lady came whom I was seeing for the first time. I used to hear that she was the one approving the release of government funds. She talked like an expert, she had tabulations, figures, and expert opinion,” he said.
“She said until now she has not received an explanation why her salary as a state officer has been tripled. We are waiting for an explanation.”
He urged members of the Azimio Parliament to advocate for Kenyan citizens’ rights.
“Stand up with all the authority and mandate given to you by the people of Kenya and the constituency, don’t let down. Fight and protect their rights.”
