Minority Leader in the Senate Stewart Madzayo now says he does not want any salary increment.
Speaking on the floor of the House on Wednesday, Madzayo rejected the proposed rise.
"Vile watu wanasema eti mshahara unaongezwa. Bwana Spika nataka kusema sitaki mshahara wangu uongezwe (People are saying that the salaries will be increased. Mr Speaker I want to say that I don't want mine to be increased)," he said.
He hoped that the rest of the senators will also reject the same, saying it is not a good time for increments.
"Let it be given to the needy so they can be able to manage their dire situations," he said.
He also proposed that the money to be used for increments be donated to the victims of the anti-Finance Bill protests and their families.
Earlier, Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna also rejected the money, in a bid to lessen the burden to taxpayers.
"I will not fight for 14k extra when the whole country is saying we need to lessen taxpayer burden. I don’t want this 14k. Ikae," Sifuna said.
The increase was gazetted by the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC).
In the new salaries, which are effective July 1, while the salaries of the President and his deputy will remain the same, that of the Prime Cabinet Secretary and other Cabinet Secretaries will increase to Sh990,000 from Sh957,000.
Principal Secretaries, Inspector General and Director General NIS will now earn Sh819,844 up from Sh792,519 a month.
Deputy Inspector General Kenya Police and Administration police, the Director of Criminal Investigations will earn Sh684,233 from Sh652,742 previously.
Speakers of the National Assembly and Senate will each take home Sh1,208,362 monthly up from Sh1,185,327.
Deputy Speakers will now take home Sh966,690 monthly, while Majority and minority leaders will take Sh800,019.
Members of the National Assembly and the Senate will also take Sh739,600 as gross salary, up from Sh725,502.
