The former presidents’ retirement expenses will increase to Sh519.6 million, up from Sh321 million in the current year ending June.

This is according to estimates in the national budget tabled in Parliament last week.

The expenses include pension and allowances as well as the cost of running their taxpayer-funded offices and staff including personal assistants, secretaries, messengers, drivers and bodyguards.

A large share of the retirement expenses or Sh386 million is linked to running their offices. This includes Sh131.4 million for paying staff and Sh255.3 million for buying goods and services.
