Nairobi City County Assembly Speaker Hon Beatrice Elachi will from next year move to a new residential house.This comes after the Salary and Remuneration Commission directed all 47 counties to stop paying rent for county bosses and instead construct houses for them.
In an advert posted in a local daily, the Nairobi County Assembly Public Service Board has invited bidders to tender for the purchase of speaker`s residential house.
The county assembly clerk Jacob Ngwele, who spoke to Nation, said SRC had issued a circular asking counties to construct residential houses for governors and speaker.
He said currently, the Speaker is entitled to a house rented at Sh 150,000 per month.Mr Ngwele said the house to be purchased will be county assembly property
