        When the salaries and remuneration commission suggested his pay cut he accepted without complain. He has never asked for an increase.

        Oh wow! I least expected to hear such from Uhuru! Now I know why many believe he lost the just concluded election.

        Really! Did he call them greedy or he swore not sign a bill to increase their salaries? Media is very unreliable!
