President Uhuru Kenyatta received the BBI report on Tuesday afternoon from task force chairman Senator Yusuf Haji.
Present were Deputy President William Ruto and former Prime Minister Raila Odinga.
The report recommends that the state should eliminate sitting allowances of public officers in both the national and the county governments.
MPs and MCAs have been accused of earning huge sitting allowances.
In July 2017, the Salaries and Remuneration Commission abolished MCAs’ mileage reimbursements, sitting allowances for plenary sessions and special responsibility perks.
But last year, the High Court reinstated the benefits, forcing the SRC to return the allowances .
“Strengthen the capacity of the Controller of Budget to enable to detect and respond in a timely manner to misappropriation , wastage and illegal process,” the task force said in the report to be launched by President Uhuru Kenyatta tomorrow (Wednesday) at Bomas of Kenya.
The task force which was constituted by Uhuru and ODM leader Raila Odinga following their handshake in March 2018 also calls for total enforcement of powers of SRC to rationalize all public sector salaries and to address the large discrepancies in remuneration.
