Did President Uhuru Kenyatta announce an 18 per cent increment on all salaries? The “Regulation of Wages Order” is a comprehensive document detailing the minimum wages that workers of different categories should be paid. The lowest minimum wage in this document is Sh5,436.90 per month for an unskilled employee working in the agricultural sector. The highest minimum wage is Sh24,719.50 for a Grade-1 trained artisan working in a large city. After the 18 per cent increment, the new cash pay is Sh12,926.55 – Sh775.6 – Sh500 = Sh11,650.95.
