Members of Parliament and county assemblies have lost the hefty sitting and mileage allowances they have been earning — making them the biggest casualties of a new public service remuneration structure that is intended to save the taxpayers more than Sh8.85 billion annually.

The Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) said yesterday the 2017-22 pay structure, which replaces the current one, will come into effect with the inauguration of the 12th Parliament in September.
