{{Kenya President will be the most paid Public Servant in his government according to the new salary structure released.}}<\/p>\n
President Uhuru Kenyatta will every month take home a salary equivalent to US$18,604 (approximately Shs1.6M in Kenyan currency).<\/p>\n
Before the new structure was announced, the most paid public servant in Kenya was the head of the anti-corruption authority who earned US$29,069 (Approximately Sh2.5 million).<\/p>\n
During President Mwai Kibaki\u2019s regime, the head of anti-corruption authority earned more than the president.<\/p>\n
However, in the new Salary structure, the President has been placed at level G \u2014 due to president\u2019s enormous work of being responsible for cross-national, regional and global strategy formulation. <\/p>\n
The New salary structure was recommended by the Kenya\u2019s Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) with the assistance of PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PwC) \u2014 which conducted a job evaluation for all State offices \u2014 has created 112 state offices, up from the current 50.<\/p>\n
According to the SRC the current wage bill does not allow for any public or state officer to get a salary increment unless the public is willing to pay more taxes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
