As You Grapple With The Teachers Strike, This Is How Lavishly Government Officials Travel Abroad! (photo)

Are our leaders sensationally preaching water while downing barrels of wine away from the public glare? 

 Over the weekend scores of Kenyan leaders offered to to take a pay-cut in contribution to the poorly paid teachers kitty. It is a move that we are yet to see take shape. In the meantime as  you marvel at the charitable nature of our leaders, you will be astounded at the extravagance of our leaders even as the Government cries that there is no money to pay teachers. 

Shortly after his generous offer to take a pay cut Budalangi MP Ababu Namwamba took a flight to New York on business class, in what is assumed  to be a State sponsored trip in the sense that Namwamba is part of a delegation accompanying President Kenyatta for the 70th Session of the UN General Assembly.

Hypothetically a trip on business class can go well over 350,000 two-way, multiply that by 70 people per trip. That is not all think about these trips taking place atleast 3 times in a year. 

To lead by example, methinks that these leaders should have started from here, travelled economy and upon returning, take pay cuts.Otherwise it will just be: drink water folks! Then a few bottles of wine later.
