The allowance was, therefore, meant to cater for the house-office-house transport, for which they were provided vehicles before. It should be noted that officers in Job Groups “M” to “Q” were not in the category of those who were provided with official transport. Therefore, commuter allowances were then not commenced for them in that category. However, as I have mentioned earlier, we have forwarded to the Treasury a budgetary request for Kshs5.6 billion, so that all officers shall be paid commuter allowance from 1st July, 2010, subject to Treasury approval. Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker."}
