According to the Salaries and Remuneration Commission as quoted on biznakenya.com, a County boss usually earns a total of Ksh 1,111,673 as his or her basic salary. This is what Governor Nyagarama earns per month exclusive allowances.
Here is a detailed salary of what he earns if we divide it in days and weeks
If we consider 31 days of a month, he earns a total of ksh 277,918.25 and sh 35,860.41, 9355 on a weekly and daily basis respectively.
Remember that the salary indicated above is minus allowance. Suppose we include the sitting, medical, transport, mileage allowances. The amount of money he pockets a month is shockable.
If we make an assumption, then we can deduce that he takes home over sh 2 million than you can imagine.
Although, Governors are not the highest earning people in Kenya but as you can see, County Governors are among the highest paid civil servants. These people laugh with their accounts every month.
They do not struggle with life as it is the norm with most Kenyans.
Apart from Governor Nyagarama, the likes of Mr President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto including the cabinet secretaries, Chief Justice and their deputies earn handsomely .
