MPs have suffered a blow after the High Court on Thursday ruled that they refund Sh1 million each received as house allowance after judges termed the pay illegal.

The 416 MPs had been paid the allowance for eight months before the High Court stopped the pay in May last year. The court directed clerks of the Senate and National Assembly, to recover the cash within a year.
