On Thursday, the MPs captured the full scale of the problem when they refused to debate the VAT Bill and threatened to scuttle plans to go on recess until they are paid their July salaries and their car grants are disbursed.
Usually, MPs are paid between the 25th and 30th of every month, and according to Njoro MP Joseph Kiuna, who also served in the 10th Parliament, this has never happened before.
“We suspect either sabotage or the government does not want to admit that its coffers are dry,” he said in a telephone interview.
“From the look of things, all is not well in Treasury.”
