What does Passaris’ actions (hustling Sonko for 500k) teach you?
I assume that a woman representative earns over 1.5 million per month (salary+allowances+extra income e.g sitting allowances) in net income. That is a very high salary by Kenyan standards.
At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter whether you earn 15k or 1.5 million, the equation is always the same. (Savings/Investments=Income-Expenses). You won’t save a dime if your expenses exceed your income.
Lifestyle creep is a bitch. You can earn millions but still be one salary/emergency away from being auctioned. Keep in mind that she was calling from Intercontinental where a room goes for 15k per night and that’s where she has been “staying” but she didn’t disclose for how long.
So you have a person earning 1.5 mil per month net income, living in Intercon for 15k+ per night, but hustling 500k.
I don’t judge people but it got me thinking because I never figured how a parliamentarian could hustle 500k. I would understand larger figures like 5 million, but 500k…that’s a person who is one disaster away from bankruptcy.
Meanwhile, this is a video clip of Madaraka Day Celebrations which may have prompted Sonko to leak the phone call video. Note that this happened hours before Sonko leaked the phone call video. You can join the dots
Thats a very small amount of money. 1.5 m monthly for 60 months na unataka Uhamie Runda kwa “residence” ujenge palatial home uko ocha, huwezi fanya izo vitu zote na 90 million
That’s the reason why they are always hanging out with crooks and gold scammers seeking financial favours. If you have good cash flow and can spare a 500K a month, you can get 5 MPs into your pockets kama wallet . You’ll be asking them to jump and they ask you how high.
She probably lives above her means. It is that straightforward. Even if you earn 10 million but spend 10 million, you will live from paycheck to paycheck.
