After the Member's Services and Facilities Committee chaired by Nyaribari Masaba MP Ezekiel Machogu returned from a mission abroad, MPs insatiable urge for five-star hotel accommodation is yet to fade away.
The lawmakers are now scheming on how to get five-star hotel accommodation for the three days they will attend parliamentary sittings.
This came shortly after the committee which visited India and New Zealand, came back with reports of the benchmarking mission.
The report that they consolidated from the benchmarking, is believably understood to have enticed the Kenyan MPs to demand the five-star hotel accommodation among other services.
In New Zealand, reports Citizen TV, the MPs who come from the constituencies outside the capital are given approximately Sh400,000 which they call Whelington allowances while in India the MPs receive approximately Sh87,000 for cleaning sofa set covers and curtains.
This must have motivated the Kenyan MPs regardless of the difference in economic stability to stretch their list of demands at the expense of the Kenyan taxpayers.
Following these reports, a section of Kisii residents were angered by the outrageous demands by the MPs.
"These people we elected only think of their stomachs and not the interests of Kenyans who voted them in," Charles Momanyi a conductor said adding that Kenya's leadership is on its deathbed.
"The other time Kitutu Chache North MP Jimmy Angwenyi was championing for the increment of MP's salaries. Today Ezekiel Machogu and others want five-star hotel services. It seems we don't have leaders from Gusii region," Daniel Onkoba a student at Kisii University said.
