A bench of five judges of the Supreme Court has dismissed an application by members of Parliament to delay the recovery of Sh1.2 billion that was paid to them four years ago as accommodation allowances.

The top court said the application by Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) was premature because the appeal, challenging a decision that found the allowances illegal, was yet to be determined.
