Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) in Meru County are among the notable beneficiaries of sitting allowances in Kenya, taking home an estimated KSh 69,759 per month in the first half of the FY 2025/26, according to recent expenditure data.

This places Meru among the top counties nationally, reflecting a significant allocation of public funds toward legislative operations at the county level.

This means that the final monthly figure largely depends on how active committees are within a given period.

Meru County MCAs are earning substantial monthly sitting allowances, positioning the county among the higher-paying assemblies in Kenya. As public scrutiny grows, the focus now turns to whether this expenditure translates into meaningful impact for the people on the ground.
