At no point has the Office of the Controller of Budget objected to the giving of car grants to MCAs. In a statement on Tuesday, Controller of Budget Margaret Nyakang'o said that since the grant has already been approved, there are processes that must be followed. OCOB wrote to the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) to be advised how to convert a car loan facility into a car grant. SRC Chairperson Lyn Mengich reviewed car loan benefits to a transport facilitation benefit in form of a car grant. The commission further noted that the grant was payable to the county speakers and members of the county assembly.
