"content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I thank Sen. Murungi for coming up with this very important issue. It is very fascinating that towns which are close to each other are rated differently. It is looks very arbitrary because I note that even Murang'a is included among “all other towns” although it is far from Nairobi. As we interrogate the Statement when it comes, I would like it to be more universal. It should include the reversing of the classification of the cities around the world where the allowances have been slashed by almost a half for Members of Parliament and other civil servants travelling to those places. This could be economic sabotage as Sen. Murungi has said, because there cannot possibly be a criterion on which Murang’a Town is different from Nyeri or Embu in payment of allowances to civil servants and other people spending a night there, to do their work. People will not want to come to Murang’a Town. This will become a barrier to trade."
