Kenya’s president, his deputy and other state officials are set to receive pay rises despite citizens facing deep economic hardship and higher taxes, according to a government document seen by AFP Friday.
They are due to get a 14 percent salary hike over a two-year period, Kenya’s Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) said in a proposal, which will raise President William Ruto’s gross monthly salary to 1,546,875 shillings ($11,000).
