Minimum wages for employees in Kenya.
Pending the increase promised by the Government, here are the current minimum salaries.
After the promise of President Kenyatta to increase the minimum wages of Kenyan employees by 18% and the re-launch of the unions that would like a 22% increase (the agreement can be found around 20), here are the current minimum wages that must be respected.
Minimum wages in Kenya vary from area to area (geographical): highest in the major cities (Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu), average in some Rift Valley counties and lower in all other areas, including Malindi and the County of Kilifi

Sex Workers: no comment …
The fact remains that, if a private individual needs, for example, an “askari”, a guardian who, if seen by thieves, if he gives it to his feet, he will have to pay KES 10107.20 a month for an agency, but the worker will collect just over half ! Compensation that you would receive from being hired by a private individual.
