Where did they take the millions when they were employed? More than 350 former MPs have filed a case in court seeking to compel the government to pay them a monthly allowance of Sh100,000 to cushion them against poverty. The former legislators are basing their case on a June 2010 recommendation by the Justice Akilano Akiwumi Commission on the welfare of parliamentarians that recommended that all those who had served as MPs since 1963 be paid a monthly allowance of Sh100,000 and a gratuity of Sh774,000 yearly. If granted, the allocation will cost the Kenyan taxpayer in excess of Sh400 million every year, at a time when the Jubilee administration and the Salaries and Remuneration Commission are making all efforts to reduce the public wage bill.
