By Charles Wanyoro (nation.co.ke)
Embu County Assembly will pay gym subscription for its 33 ward reps and 80 staff members to help them reduce weight.
Speaker Josiah Thiriku said he had noted many ward representatives had gained weight that could take a toll on them as they perform their legislative duties.
Mr Thiriku encouraged the MCAs to embrace a healthy lifestyle by exercising.
“I have realised that members now need to keep fit; all of us have added weight,” he told the MCAs.
The county assembly’s sports and fitness kitty has been allocated Sh11million while gym fees was calculated at Sh3,000 per month per individual.
They eat our money and get fat, then they use our money to lose weight?
Man, this is some messed up shiet.
Why can’t they stop eating in the 1st place?
Hii ndio shida ya giving counties too much powers and too much money and they don’t know what to do with the money. So they come up with this kind of ridiculous things to spend money isirudi treasury.
