MPs in Kenya have voted to boost their own salaries, making them among the world's best paid politicians.

 

Under the new legislation, the Kenyan prime minister will take home over a third more than his British counterpart.

 

He will also earn almost 10% more than the US president. The vote has provoked anger from the general public and the media, correspondents say.

 

The parliamentarians have voted to be paid a basic $44,000 (£29,000) a year.

 

But extra allowances can bring the salary up to up to $126,000 (£84,000) after tax - a rise of 18%.

 

The allowances include $370 (£250) a day for turning up in parliament.
