DAILY POST: KBC on the spot for donating Sh12 Million to MARGARET KENYATTA's Beyond Zero Marathon yet its staff have gone months without salaries (LOOK) , , 23:46 Sunday, March 10, 2019- The State Braodcaster is on the spot after contributing a staggering Sh12 million to First Lady Margaret Kenyatta’s Beyond  Zero Marathon while  its staff have gone  several months  without  salaries.
The First Lady launched this campaign five years ago to improve maternal healthcare but most Kenyans feel that the taxes they pay are sufficient to offer quality healthcare for all.
Most Kenyans feel the campaign is just a scam pointing at the billions lost through corruption that could easily fix the rot in the healthcare system.


Last year, the ‘Beyond Zero Marathon’ was called off following uproar on social media.  The fact that a loss making State Corporation can contribute Sh12 million to the initiative while their staff suffer has angered Kenyans.  Actually, one lady narrated how her mother who has worked at KBC  for 30 years has gone months without salary. She wrote: “This makes me terribly sad. My mom has worked at KBC for 30 years.She wakes up every day to go to work and does not get paid her salary. She can't retire bcoz KBC can't pay her pension either.KBC has no money to pay salaries but contributes to #BeyondZeroCorruption
