The Kenya National Commission on Human Rights and the anti corruption watchdog Transparency International- Kenya, have released a research report on wasteful government expenditure. It points out that between January 2003 and September 2004, the new NARC government in Kenya spent at least Kshs 878million in the purchase of luxury cars that were largely for the personal use of senior government officials such as ministers, assistant ministers and permanent secretaries. The report argues that "until all necessities are accessible to all members of our community, no one should live in luxury using public resources”.
