Given that the Governor of Nairobi is not the highest earning person in Kenya, he still earns an immense amount of money contrary to your expectations.
According to the Salaries and Remuneration Commission as quoted on biznakenya.com, the basic salary of a governor is Sh1,111,673 exclusive of allowances.
This is what Governor Mike Sonko earns as a basic salary.
Here is a detailed breakdown of his salary per day.
Considering 31 days of a month, he earns sh 277,918.25 and sh 35,860.419355 on a weekly and daily basis respectively.
The salary indicated above is minus the allowances. So, if we include all allowance, sitting, medical, travelling, house and such, seemingly, the governor will undoubtedly carry home over the aforementioned monthly salary.
He deserves this amount of money because he is tasked with difficult responsibilities including appointing an accounting officer for each county department, entity, or decentralized unit of the county government as one of the primary roles.
