Constitution audit team led by Auditor-General Edward Ouko said the allowances earned by MPs and other State officers mostly exceed the basic pay and should be capped at 40 per cent to ease pressure on the wage bill.
This would see MP's total monthly take-home drop below Sh1 million from the current over Sh1.5 million.
The team also said that
Kenya needs 290 MPs and not 416 in line with the global citizen’s representation quotas.
Mr Ouko’s team said that in the year ending June 2015, the country was spending on average Sh55 million per member, adding that the cost of running Kenya’s Parliament is nearly four times the global average.

In regard to politicians 'working' for us, Kenyans are over-represented over and above global quotas!
As for Doctors, Police etc Kenya is well under the global quotas.
In the meantime Doctors, Police and other such Govt employees are paid less than 5% of what an MP earns!
Peculiar Country!
Just as absolute power corrupts leaders, so does absolute fanaticism blind the people from logic
