Compare Kenya and USA Parliaments

What is going on! I just came across this article on the Daily Nation newspaper

Our MP's are very lazy and do not show up to discuss important things. However, they are busy increasing their pay, allowance and retirement benefits.

We have to get rid of this backward thinking if we really want to improve the standard of living of our people.

Can you compare this with what is happening in the USA where the Congress and Senate will hold meeting the whole day discussing issues. A good example is today, the Kenyan parliament adjourned without discussing important issues due to lack of quorum while the US senate is working well close to midnight discussing bailout plans.

As I have said before, our leadership, current crop of political elites and the whole government is corrupt to the core and extremely inefficient and the only solution is a people driven revolution/clean sweep to restore leadership that is sensitive to the wellbeing of our country.

I WONT REALLY MIND US REDUCING THE NUMBER OF MP'S TO ABOUT 50, REDUCING THEIR PAY AND ALLOWANCES AND MAKE THEM PAY TAXES AND LASTLY, REDUCING THE SIZE OF OUR GOVERNMENT TO ABOUT 8 KEY MINISTRIES.

Hi! I noticed that my website isn't appearing well just in case you want to read what I think about social issues being an activist myself. Cheers!
