By Moses Kuria

About 20 constitutional commissions have been set up since 2011 under the 2010 Constitution. In the Budget presented by Cabinet Secretary for Treasury this week, over Sh3 billion will be spent on paying salaries and allowances for these few privileged Kenyans. Not to mention other luxuries that go with that territory like fuel guzzling four wheel drive vehicles, free education for children and personal insurance schemes that would be the envy of even the best paid corporate executives in Kenya.
