MPs TO RECEIVE EXTRA ALLOWANCES

Members of Parliament are set to receive an additional Ksh 366,011 monthly allowance from April 1st meaning more burdens to the tax payer.

The allowance termed as ‘fixed monthly mileage’ will force the tax payer pay an additional Ksh 4.4 billion per year.

This move has sparked social media reactions from Kenyans, who are yet to understand why the Legislators are increasing their allowances when the country is in a financial jeopardy.

President Ruto has also been quoted on various occasions promising to reduce the tax payer burden by cutting down on the number of his advisors , but this seems untrue since the numbers have increased significantly.

Surprisingly, the government is citing lack of funds to absorb and pay intern doctors as per the CBA.

However, it is yet to be seen as to whether the MPs will allow the additional allowance take effect.
