According to the newspaper, a recent report has raised concerns that lawmakers may receive millions of shillings as mileage suspicions, while the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) allows them to claim these major benefits without providing evidence of travel.
The report highlights that the Senate and the National Assembly provide a lot of money to facilitate parliamentary transport to their constituencies.
This disclosure could raise an investigation into the PSC, chaired by National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang'ula, especially at this time when many Kenyans are facing a difficult economic situation.
Auditor General Nancy Gathungu said his review found that MPs were just completing the monthly transportation form, and then the money was transferred to their accounts immediately.
“The allowances were only supported by the travel claim form. There was no control or other written evidence to prove that the member actually traveled to confirm the payment of the allowance,” Said the Auditor -General.
Mile allowances, especially for parliamentarians representing remote areas, can double their salaries.
For example, a member of Parliament traveling to and back 0-350 km to his constituency is compensated at a rate of KSh 152.6 per kilometer, with a monthly privilege of KSh 462,887. MPs from remote regions benefit more, thus pushing all their revenue over KSh 1.6 million of the president's monthly salary.
