Members of Parliament are set to get yet another pay increase, which will see each of them earn Sh1.33 million per month or 25 times higher than Kenya’s average salary beginning June.
Official budget documents show that the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC), the MPs’ employer, has increased the National Assembly’s salary budget to Sh5.6 billion in the next financial year, up from Sh5.4 billion in the current year ending June.
