Current parliament holds record for being the most inept so far

Whichever way one looks at them, Kenyan parliamentarians are grotesquely obnoxious. They are the embodiment of greed, myopia, disdain for the rule of law, insensitivity, and everything wrong with this country.

Hardly had the dust on their demand for a house allowance of Sh250,000 settled than they were at it again; this time seeking a night allowance of Sh18,000. Yet more nauseating were reports that House Speaker Justin Muturi had come to their defence, advancing the ridiculous argument that paying MPs night allowance will boost their morale and solve the quorum hitches in the house.
