The average monthly sitting allowance paid to Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) dropped for the first time in the nine months to March 2017, signalling that the battle against theft and wastage in the devolved governments is beginning to bear fruit.
Controller of Budget Agnes Odhiambo says in her latest report that each MCA took home an average Sh84,875 per month in sitting allowances, down from Sh102,045 in a similar period a year earlier — a 16.8 per cent drop.
