The Salary and Remuneration Commission (SRC) in July released updated salaries and allowances for Members of County Assemblies (MCAs), which puts an MCA’s monthly salary at Ksh144,375.

This includes a basic pay of Ksh86,625, a Ksh45,000 housing allowance, which comes as a new perk for MCAs and a Ksh12,750 salary market adjustment (SMA)

In the salary review, SRC abolished the Ksh2 million grant for the 2,237 MCAs that were approved in February 2021. Their expenses for plenary sittings have also been eliminated in a gazette notice that took effect on August 9, 2022.

According to SRC chairperson Lyn Mengich, the decision to abolish the Ks3,000 plenary sitting allowance for MCAs will save the country Ksh8.2 billion in the next five years. The savings from the MCAs will be Ksh1.2 billion annually and Ksh6 billion for the five-year period they are in office.

The Speaker of the County Assembly will receive a gross monthly salary of Ksh525,525, a Ksh4million car loan, and a Ksh20 million mortgage. The deputy will be paid Ksh216,563, have a Ksh2 million car loan, and a Ksh3 million mortgage. The county assemblies have 1,450 elective MCAs plus those nominated in gender top-ups in line with the two-thirds gender rule.

The County Executive Committee members will receive a total compensation of Ksh404,250, which is made up of Ksh242,550 in basic pay, Ksh80,000 in housing benefits, and Ksh81,700 in salary adjustments.

The CECs will now be eligible for official county government transportation as well as car loans up to ksh4 million, airtime up to Ksh10,000 per month, and mortgages up to Ksh20 million. The County Treasury shall centrally administer and manage the mortgage and car loans, subject to the availability of funds and any applicable laws governing the schemes.

An annual medical cover shall also be provided to the state officer, one spouse and up to four children below twenty-five years fully dependent on the state officer to the tune of Ksh3 million for inpatient, Ksh200,000 for outpatient, Ksh100,000 for maternity, Ksh50,000 for dental care and Ksh50,000 for optical care.

County Executive Committee members will receive an annual leave allowance paid at the rate of Ksh10,000 and will not be eligible for payment in cash instead of leave. The Annual leave entitlement shall be thirty 30 days excluding weekends and public holidays.

State officers will be eligible for both pension and gratuity retirement payments. According to current laws, a State officer serving or appointed on a permanent and pensionable term will be eligible for a pension benefit. A service gratuity of 31% of the annual pensionable remuneration for the term served is paid to a state officer serving or appointed for a set term.
