Kieni MP Kanini Kega wants the government to give MPs who will be elected on August 8 GK vehicles like ministers.
He lamented that since the Salaries and Remuneration Commission scrapped most of their allowances, the government needs to provide MPs with vehicles, drivers and fuel.
The MP said if this was not done, some MPs might have problems with means of transport.
“Let the government provide us with vehicles since even getting car grants will be hard. We are also public servants. Just like Cabinet secretaries and principal secretaries. Let us also be provided with cars so that we can be able to serve our constituents well since the pay cut will pose transport challenges,” said Kega.
Speaking in Nyeri town to journalists yesterday, the MP said the vehicles would help the legislators to move around with ease on official duty. He said the cars would not be for personal use.
