President Uhuru Kenyatta addresses Jubilee Governors and MCAs during a past meeting at State House, Nairobi.
The Salaries and Remunerations Commission (SRC) has approved the Sh4.5 billion car grants for MCAs and their speakers paving way for its implementation.
In a statement sent to media houses on Tuesday, SRC chairperson Lynn Mengich said the commission has reviewed and directed the conversion of the Sh4.5 billion Car Loan Benefit to a Transport Facilitation Benefit in form of a grant for the MCAs.
“Taking into account the principle of equity and fairness, affordability and fiscal sustainability, SRC hereby reviews the car loan benefit as set earlier to a transport facilitation benefit in the form of a grant,” read the statement in parts.
