Members of Parliament have petitioned the Treasury to include an additional Sh11.7 billion in the budget for free cars for each, a sendoff package for their aides, and extra millions for a mortgage and medical insurance payments.

Parliament’s Budget and Appropriations Committee wants Sh4.2 billion for free cars for MPs who will be elected after the August 9 polls, a Sh6.6 billion send-off package for their aides, and a Sh500 million top-up on their subsidised mortgage.
