Leader of Majority Aden Duale led MPs in opposing the new rates saying the charges are exorbitant.
“I don’t want to challenge your communication because there nothing out of order. But it is very unfair for MPs to be charged Sh5,000 when the PSC has an annual budget of more than Sh26 billion,” Mr Duale said after Mr Cheboi issued a communication on the new charges.
