“What is your contract saying pale kwa payment?” 2mbili asked him and he replied:” I have said it before, I will be doing this job for free but of cause with a small allowance to run around.”
“You know some small allowances as you out it can be higher than someone’s salary. Like for retired presidents, their entertainment allowance is about Ksh750,000,” 2mbili pressed.
