The next crop of MPs and MCAs have reason to smile after the SRC approved hefty direct benefits for them despite scrapping plenary sitting allowances.
In a classic case of taking by one hand and rewarding through the other, the Salaries and Remuneration Commission said it had “reviewed and upgraded” the roles of MPs that gave them enhanced perks.
The latest salaries review has handed MPs handsome benefits including revised mortgages of up to Sh35 million as well Sh7.5 million car grant fashioned as a 'motor vehicle reimbursement.
The changes were gazetted on Thursday.
