The annual salary budget for MPs will increase by at least Sh323.76 million if Kenyans approve recommendations by the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) taskforce to raise the number of legislators.

The report, presented on Wednesday to President Uhuru Kenyatta and ODM leader Raila Odinga, proposes to increase the number of lawmakers to 456 — up from the current 418, including the National Assembly and Senate speakers.
