THE Minister of Transport, Chirau Ali Mwakwere yesterday claimed that the proposal to increase legislators’ perks was a ploy by the opposition MPs to tarnish Government’s image.
His sentiments came just a day after acrimonious condemnations by various leaders including evangelical preacher and presidential aspirant, Pius Muiru, who said the salary increments were meant to woo MPs to vote for the Government-backed proposal for new constituencies and publicise President Mwai Kibaki’s bid for a second-term in office ahead of the general election.
But Mwakwere who was speaking in his Matuga Constituency condemned critics of the wage increment plan and blamed the opposition MPs for attempting to scandalise the Government.
