MP Salasya shocks Kenyans after revealing Ksh.1M payslip with Ksh.563K mortgage

Mumias East Member of Parliament Peter Salasya is a not a stranger to controversy, the man’s antics got Kenyans talking from the moment he was elected to the seat last year.

He’s back in the spotlight again, and this time after he took to social media to make public his Parliamentary pay slip.

The slip capped the MP’s gross pay at a total of Ksh.1,171,525. However, it was the deductions column that piqued the interest of many Kenyans on Twitter (KoT).

Out of that entire gross salary, after the aforementioned deductions, Salasya only takes home a net pay of Ksh.97,197.80; which was surprising to many, but not as much as one specific item.

It was the controversial legislator’s mortgage contribution of a whopping Ksh.563,000 that finally broke the camel’s back, with many netizens wondering why 

KoT, in their usual dramatic flair, trooped to the MP’s comment section with hilarious comments and questions as below:
