The MCAs, who are on recess until February, left for Tanzania on Monday, with each of the 47 members expected to pocket Sh260,000 in allowances, according to a senior assembly official. Some members, however, took the allowances but remained in Kisumu to attend a court case involving Speaker Ann Adul and clerk Phillip Adundo. Ms Adul said she was aware of the trip but was not part of it. “I am aware of the trip but I am concentrating on my court case,” Ms Adul said. “The decision to go for the trip borders on greed, selfishness and especially at a time Kisumu faces hunger due to the drought,” said Mr Konge’ere.
