Civil servants in Kenya are set to get a pay increase this July. This is after the cabinet approved a Sh. 100 billion budget.
The Cabinet also approved funds for the harmonisation of public sector salaries and allowances, pension, and house and hardship allowances.
The government will also recruit additional 10,000 police officers and 5,000 teachers.
The Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC), this year, recommended a pay increment for all public sector employees after carrying out a job evaluation exercise of about 40,000 jobs.
Under the proposed rating, the lowest paid worker in job grade B1 will earn a minimum of Sh14,442 per month, while the highest paid employee in job grade E4 will take home a monthly salary of Sh292,765.
