MPs have made good their threat to tame the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC), just days after the agency turned down their Sh250 000 house allowance demand.

The lawmakers voted to deny SRC Sh125.6 million relating to various items contained in the second supplementary budget for the financial year 2018/19.
