MPs’ spending on foreign trips hit a historic high in the three months to June, highlighting their renewed appetite for overseas tours following the easing of Covid-19 travel restrictions.

Data from the Controller of Budget shows that Members of the National Assembly and Senators splashed Sh703.1 million on foreign trips in the three months — the highest quarterly spend since Kenya started making public travel spend in 2013.
