County Assembly (MCA) members are among Kenya’s highest-paid legislators. MCAs’ Monthly basic salary are significantly higher than those of doctors and attorneys.
MCAs earn more than Ksh 300,000 per month in benefits and allowances in addition to their wages.
The Salaries and Remuneration Commission sets the salaries of MCAs, public workers, MPs, Senators, teachers, and other civil servants.
An MCA is scheduled to make a basic Monthly Salary of Ksh Sh123,750, but after factoring in mileage allowances and other benefits, he takes home Ksh 500,000, according to this commission.
MCAs’ Monthly basic salary wage was set at Ksh 79,000 in 2013, however it was raised to Ksh 123,000 amid concerns from the MCAs.
But don’t be fooled; according to our source, each MCA earns close to Ksh800,000 every month, because to the numerous meetings they attend that attract allowances and the trips they take to other countries.
According to a data from the Controller of Budget, each MCAs Monthly basic salary in Nairobi is paid Sh262,088 per month on average.
Their Isiolo colleagues, on the other hand, receive only Sh17,219 each month.
West Pokot (Sh238, 564), Nyamira (Sh237, 037), and Uasin Gishu (Sh196,748) are among the top earners.
Even though pay vary by county, an MCA can earn a minimum of Ksh 400,000 per month, which is why most Kenyans have chosen to compete for this prestigious position.
