Here's a List of MPs Who Are Spending Millions on US Trip

On Wednesday, Kenya is reported to have sent the largest delegation to the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL) in Nashville, Tennessee in the US.

According to a report by Daily Nation, the delegation comprised of both Speakers of the National Assembly and the Senate, MPs, MCAs, clerks and support staff.

The publication revealed that it could not establish the exact cost of the trip, but there were indications it could cost taxpayers nearly Ksh100 million.

The lawmakers, however, denied the report and demanded an apology even as Nation learnt that some of the members did not travel due to visa problems.

This is the list of the 73 those spending millions in the US, in the said conference, with four out of the 77 cancelling their trip.
