List of 85 Kenyan MPs, Senators, MCAs on Extravagant US Trip

The names of all the 85 MPs, MCAs and parliamentary staff who traveled to the US for a legislative summit have been revealed.

The names were published by Daily Nation after ODM leader Raila Odinga raised alarm over the huge cost taxpayers will pay for the delegation’s trip.

The group is in the US to represent Kenya in the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) in Nashville, Tennessee.

The Kenyan delegation is the largest amongst the countries represented in the US conference followed by Nigeria with 20 representatives, Daily Nation reported. Most other countries sent between one and six legislators to represent them.

In a statement, Odinga said he “finds no justification at all in Parliament and county assemblies sending such a huge delegation on a mission where a handful could come back with a report.”

Odinga added that this trip was evidence that “these institutions have money they do not know what to do with, or they simply don’t care about the burden taxpayers are bearing.”

Here is the list of Kenyan representatives in the summit.
