The level of poverty among ordinary Kenyans will get worse after MPs awarded themselves Sh250,000 monthly housing allowance each, former Embu Senator Lenny Kivuti has said. Kivuti, who is also a two-term former MP, said the senators and the MPs do not deserve the quarter million shilling monthly house allowance. I know there is no MP or senator who lives in a mud house. When an MP goes to Parliament he or she is given a car grant and a loan to buy a house. The loan has increased from the Sh90 million borrowed five years ago due to interest.
