IN SUMMARY

The commission accuses lawmakers of disregarding constitutional provisions that give it the sole mandate of setting salaries and allowances for State and public officers.

The commission says at this rate, the cost of keeping the lawmakers comfortable would result in the loss of more than Sh99.5 million per month and Sh1.194 billion annually.
