The High court has ruled that all MCAs will earn a salary until their five-year term expires in March 2018.

Making the ruling, Judge Chacha Mwita, declined to change election date for governors to March 4, 2018, as sought.

"As such, they are entitled to salary until that time."

He was making a judgment in the case filed by Andrew Kiplimo Sang, County Assembly Forum, and Richard Ouma.

The country has 2,526 MCAs each earning a basic salary of Sh165,000.

In a month, their wage bill amounts to Sh416 million.
