It is 11.6 percent pay cut for President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto. Treasury’s supplementary budget estimates show that the annual pay of Mr Kenyatta and Dr Ruto will drop from the current KShs. 41.2 million to KShs. 36.4 million for the year ending in June 2022. This means the President’s salary will drop to KShs. 1.44 million a month from KShs. 1.65 million, while his deputy will take home KShs. 1.23 million from KShs. 1.4 million.

After President Kenyatta exits office this year, he will get a monthly pension of KShs. 42.4 million and the amount will subsequently increase to KShs. 42.7 million in 2023 and KShs. 47 million in 2024. Other benefits that he will get as aside from the monthly pensions include 80 percent of current salary, allowances for house, fuel entertainment, and utility, furnished officers and bodyguards. Others include two personal assistants, four secretaries, four messengers, four drivers and four cars which are replaced after every four years.
