BBI is a done deal as SRC finally approves UHURU’s Sh2 million bribe to MCAs on condition that they pass the BBI Bill – Never joke with the deep state

 Wednesday, February 10, 2021 – The Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) has approved the Ksh4.5 billion car grant President Uhuru Kenyatta offered Members of the County Assembly (MCAs).

In a letter signed by SRC Chairperson Lyn Mengich, the commission reviewed car loan benefits to a transport facilitation benefit in form of a car grant.

The commission further noted that the grant was payable to the County Speakers and Members of the County Assembly.

“Conversion of the car loan facility to a car grant will be undertaken within the available car loan facility funds of Ksh4.5 billion and will not affect the expenditure ceiling.”

“Upon conversion, the existing car loan shall cease and the speakers and Members of the County Assembly who have already benefited on the existing car loan shall convert their car loan to transport facilitation benefit in form of a car grant,” read the notice in part.

The commission added that the benefit was only applicable to the current speakers and MCAs.

Uhuru pledged to help MCAs achieve their demands for a Ksh2 million car grant each but on condition that they support the BBI Referendum Bill 2020 whose fate now lies in the hands of county assemblies. 

According to the SRC, MCAs are entitled to car loans of up to Ksh2 million to be paid back on a three percent interest rate within their term in office.

So far, two counties, Siaya and Kisumu, have passed the bill in preparation for a referendum to alter the constitution.
