Former councilors in Kisumu, Kenya have strongly rejected a proposal from Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi to pay them just Sh2,000 monthly under the Inua Jamii programme as part of their pension plan. They view the offer as insulting and a "mockery of conscience," demanding a more substantial honorarium for their past service.

• The offer of Sh2,000 monthly was dismissed as inadequate by former councilors, with Isaiah Onyango suggesting at least Sh20,000 monthly or a one-off payment of Sh200,000.
• Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi cited a May 2023 Attorney General's legal opinion stating there was no lawful basis for a pension for councilors, as their service did not meet the threshold.
• Fred Madanje, a Kisumu resident, opposed the councilors' demands, cautioning against burdening taxpayers and suggesting it could lead to similar demands from Members of County Assemblies (MCAs).
