Kenya's president was given an increase of $18000 per month to his current salary, but he rejected it. I am glad to see that the President turned down this request in favor of other projects.

Kibaki has been riddled with corruption scandals and problems with graf throughout his entire presidency. He promised to clean up corruption, and yet has lost international credibility because his government is fraught with it.

This move to deny the new funds may be more out of political salvation, but at least 18,000 a month can hopefully be redirected to the growing problem of orphans and HIV/AIDS.
