In the case, Omtatah has challenged the house allowances given to MPs and wants court to stop all payment to them arguing that it's against the law. The activist has also sued PSC and the Speakers of both houses. Omtatah had sued all MPs and Senators for "irregularly receiving house allowances". He wanted the court to suspend all payments of house allowances to MPs. “The impugned house allowance of Sh250,000 per month will cost taxpayers Sh104 million every month which Sh1.2 billion annually,” Omtatah said.
