This might sound incredible but believe it or not, she takes homes a total of Sh1,099,182 on a monthly basis. Here is a breakdown of what she earns per day and per week.
Considering 31 days of a month, she earns an approximate of Sh35,457 and Sh274,796 on a daily and weekly basis respectively.
The allowances have not been incorporated in the above salary. If we consider house, transport, sitting and medical allowances, we can make an assumption that she earns over the aforementioned monthly salary.

The likes of President Uhuru Kenyatta, and his Deputy William Ruto, Chief Justice David Maraga, County Governors, Cabinet Secretaries are also paid well. Their salaries are over Sh million as that of DCJ Philomena Mwilu.
