Description:

Members of Kenya's Parliament are highly paid compared to lawmakers in many other parts of the world. The MPs pay taxes on their basic salary but not on their allowances, which amount to more than four times their salary. In a recent poll, almost all Kenyans interviewed said they want their leaders' allowances to be taxed, and many vowed not to pay their taxes until this happens. Cathy Majtenyi reports for VOA from Nairobi.
