“Politicians Are Paid Ksh.100,000 In Every PG At State House!” – UDA MP Reveals
Mukurweini Member of Parliament (MP) John Kaguchia claims that lawmakers are always given Ksh.100,000 when they attend Parliamentary Group meetings at State House.
According to the legislator, legislators have warmed up to the House on the Hill in order to raise more funds for personal advancement.
He accused the Executive of employing illegitimate tokenism to influence political leadership.
“Political leadership has been captured by the executive, and most of them are now looking at how much money they are getting as individuals,” he told Citizen TV on Monday.
“Once you see a political leader going to the State House, they get a lot of benefits.”
“Every meeting you attend in the State House, you are paid. When you go for a PG, you get Ksh.100,000. The first time I didn’t take the money, but sooner or later I stopped going there.”
He further said that political elites are primarily concerned in forming alliances ahead of the 2027 elections, at the expense of ignoring citizens in desperate need of a functional service delivery system.
Since becoming the ruling party following the 2022 elections, the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) has conducted a number of PG meetings.
In 2023, part of the sessions took place on April 11, May 23, and November 7.
In February 2024, President William Ruto’s cabinet and the legislative group (senators and MPs) held a joint retreat and meeting in Naivasha.

In August 2025, the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) held a joint PG meeting with the UDA at State House to review progress on implementing the 10-point Agenda.
In addition, to follow up on the recommendations of the National Dialogue Committee (NADCO) report signed in March 2025 by President Ruto and the late Raila Odinga, the founder of the ODM.
It was during that meeting that the bipartisan implementation committee was unveiled and mandated to oversee the execution of a 10-point agenda outlined in the NADCO report.
