In need to raise extra cash from their salaries, the MCAs have devised a way to milk public coffers.

Sources at the county assembly said the legislators have been pushing for retreats, training seminars, and meetings outside the assembly to earn more allowances.

The Standard has authoritatively reported that documents on its desk which was obtained from the assembly indicate that in the first 100 days, the MCAs pocketed more than Sh20 million in allowances from seminars and retreats.

“They have been to Naivasha for four days, Nairobi seven days, Machakos six, and Naivasha again for two more days,” a source said.

This is despite the fact that no work has been done for the electorates in the 100 days.

"We elected our MCA to go and push for our welfare, not go and turn the government into a cash cow," George Theuri from Bahati ward said.
