  • According to the report for the 2015/16 financial year, the payments were made in two batches.

Members of the previous Parliament pocketed at least Sh569 million mileage allowances without clear guidelines, a report by the Auditor-General Edward Ouko shows.

Mr Ouko, in his latest audit report, implicated the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) for what it says was a unilateral payment of the claims to MPs, without supporting documents and guidelines issued by the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC).
