TSC Introduces the New, Provident Fund Deduction on Teachers’ Payslips in January 2021; This is How it Will Affect Teachers’ Salaries

TSC Introduces the New, Provident Fund Deduction on Teachers’ Payslips in January 2021; This is How it Will Affect Teachers’ Salaries

TSC Introduces the New, Provident Fund Deduction on Teachers' Payslips in January 2021; This is How it Will Affect Teachers' Salaries

The Teachers Service Commission, TSC, has introduced a new deduction on teachers’ payslips.

The deduction referred to as Provident Fund will see teachers submit a portion of their monthly salaries towards the new savings scheme.

Provident fund is another name for pension fund. Its purpose is to provide employees with lump sum payments at the time of exit from their place of employment.

This differs from pension funds, which have elements of both lump sum as well as monthly pension payments. As far as differences between gratuity and provident funds are concerned, although both types involve lump sum payments at the end of employment, the former operates as a defined benefit plan, while the latter is a defined contribution plan.

The new contributory pension scheme will see government employees (including teachers) contribute 7.5% of their monthly basic salaries; while the employer tops up with 15% of the employee’s basic salary.

To make the burden lighter for teachers, they will contribute only 2% of their basic pay in the first year (2021). In 2022 (the second year), teachers will contribute 5% of their basic pay while the full 7.5% deduction will be effected as from the third year (2023).

WHO WILL BE COVERED BY THE NEW PENSION SCHEME

The scheme will cover all employees of the Public Service who are recruited through:

the Public Service Commission, PSC;
the Teachers Service Commission, TSC;
the National Police Service Commission, NPSC; or
any other service that the Cabinet Secretary determines to be public service for the purposes of the Act.
The scheme will be mandatory for all employees aged below 45 years. On the other hand, the current Public Service Pension arrangement will be closed to all new employees and all serving employees who will be aged below 45 years as at 1st January, 2021. Employees aged 45 years and above as at that date will be given an option to join the new Scheme or remain in the old Scheme.

HOW THE PENSION SCHEME WILL WORK
As opposed to the current pension scheme (where the government shoulders full payment responsibility), in the new scheme both the employer and employee will contribute equally.

This scheme is portable and allows employees to transfer their services to other employers without losing their pension benefits. Employees who for any reason exit Government service before the retirement date, will be allowed to access their own accumulated contributions and a further 50% of the Government portion on leaving service.

Under the new scheme, monthly contributions by employees of up to 30% of their basic salary or Kshs. 20,000 whichever is lower will be tax deductible. This means that the contribution is deducted from the salary before tax is calculated. This in effect reduces the tax level and improves the pay of an employee as well as avoiding double taxation of pension contributions and pension payouts.

The new scheme ensures involvement of the employees and members in the management of their retirement fund through participation in the Board of Trustees in accordance with the Retirement Benefits Authority. This in essence enhances a sense of ownership and oversight of the management of the fund.

Benefits of the new contributory Pension scheme
The new contributory pension scheme comes with a number of benefits. These include:

An employee can transfer pension benefit credits from a former employer to another with a similar Pension scheme.
The scheme allows employees to access part of their benefits even before the mandatory retirement age.
Teachers joining the scheme from non-contributory pension scheme will have their past benefits transferred to the new scheme.
Widows and Children’s Pension Scheme (WCPS) and NSSF contribution will cease immediately an employee joins the scheme.
Those who remain in the free Pension Act will be bound by the provision of the Pensions Act cap 189.

Confirmed TSC Internship Vacancies as of December 2021: Inside TSC plan for recruiting 6,000 intern teachers in December 2021

Confirmed TSC Internship Vacancies as of December 2021: Inside TSC plan for recruiting 6,000 intern teachers in December 2021

Inside TSC plan to recruit 6,000 intern teachers in December 2021

The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) will employ at least 6,000 intern teachers in December 2021.

The recruited teachers will be expected to take their internship posts early January when they will be posted to schools.

According to TSC Chief Executive Nancy Macharia the additional employees would ease teachers’ workload as enrollment rises, particularly due to the government’s 100 per cent transition from primary to secondary school policy.

“This is a commendable government effort to ensure quality learning and teaching in our public schools,” said Macharia.

Macharia said the recruitment of 6,000 teachers on internship will cost the Commission kshs 1.2 billion.

She said TSC is more concerned with the workload brought by the 100 per cent transition policy and commended the government for allocating more funds for recruiting more teachers.

“We appreciate the government for allocating TSC funds annually for the recruitment of additional teachers since the 100 per cent transition programme was launched,” said Nancy Macharia.

However of the 6,000 internship vacancies only 2,000 will go to primary schools while the rest 4,000 will be reserved for secondary schools.

The recruitment will start between late November and early December when the current internship contract expires.

Last year TSC recruited 12,000 intern teachers under the Covid-19 economic stimulus package at a cost of Sh2.4 billion.

Secondary schools intern teachers earn a stipend of Sh 20,000 per month while interns in primary schools take home Sh15,000.

In July 2021 TSC advertised a total of 3,914 replacements for primary and secondary schools to replace teachers who exited service.

In the advert 2,987 posts went to primary schools while 927 went to secondary schools.

TSC also advertised 5,000 teaching posts for secondary schools. However 1,000 posts went to practicing P1 teachers who have bachelors degree with C+ in KCSE and C+ in the two teaching subjects to be deployed to teach in secondary schools.

The recruited teachers have started to receive their posting letters where they will work on permanent and pensionable terms.

In the last recruitment TSC gave priority for intern teachers to be employed on permanent terms. In the recruitment score sheet the Commission awarded 30 marks to all intern teachers despite the period they had served.

This caused an uproar from a section of teachers who termed it a discrimination exercise. Some unlucky intern teachers were unable to secure employment on permanent terms and are currently serving under internship contract others for a second year now.

Macharia said the July recruitment brought the total number of teachers hired since 2018 to facilitate the 100 per cent transition policy to 28,700.

Currently TSC has a total of 330,671 teachers employed.

TSC Updates Hardship Areas and Teacher Allowances for 2025

Leave a comment

TSC Updates Hardship Areas and Teacher Allowances for 2025

The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has made important updates to the classification of hardship areas and the associated allowances for teachers, starting July 1, 2025. This initiative is designed to adjust compensation in line with the current infrastructural and socio-economic realities in different regions of Kenya.

Reassessment of Hardship Areas

In partnership with the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC), the TSC has reviewed regions that were previously identified as hardship areas.

This evaluation took into account factors such as access to essential services, infrastructure, security, and the availability of social services.

Consequently, hardship areas have been divided into two categories:

Extreme Hardship Areas:

These include regions facing significant challenges, such as Mandera, Garissa, Turkana, Wajir, Tana River, Marsabit, parts of Lamu, West Pokot, parts of Baringo, and Isiolo counties.

Moderate Hardship Areas:

These regions experience notable but less severe challenges, including parts of Kwale, Narok West, Narok South, Loita, Samburu, Suba South, Suba North, Kitui, Makueni, Kajiado, Kilifi, Nyando, Nyakach, Laikipia, and Nyandarua counties.

Several areas, including Tinderet, Soin, Bunyala, Elgeyo Marakwet, and Tharaka Nithi, have been completely removed from the hardship classification due to improvements in infrastructure and living conditions.

Impact on Teachers

Teachers in Extreme Hardship Areas will continue to receive full hardship allowances, while those in Moderate Hardship Areas will experience a reduction in their allowances. Educators in regions that are no longer classified as hardship areas will no longer receive these allowances.

The hardship allowance varies by job group, ranging from Ksh 6,600 for entry-level teachers (Job Group B5) to Ksh 38,100 for senior administrators (Job Group D5).

Reactions from Stakeholders

The reclassification has received mixed responses. Some stakeholders commend the government’s efforts to reflect current conditions, while teacher unions have raised concerns about the potential negative effects on staff morale and retention in impacted areas. They argue that the reduction or elimination of hardship allowances could worsen staffing issues in remote schools.

The government expects to save around Ksh 6.5 billion annually through these changes.

However, education stakeholders stress the importance of a balanced approach that considers both fiscal responsibility and the well-being of teachers working in difficult environments.

Conclusion

The TSC’s updated classification of hardship areas and allowances aims to align teacher compensation with present-day conditions. As these changes are implemented, ongoing communication between the government and education stakeholders will be essential to address concerns and ensure the provision of quality education across all regions.

Revised (TSC) Hardship Areas: Government degazettes some hardship areas, designates them as moderate instead of extreme

Leave a comment

Revised Hardship Areas: Government degazettes the following hardship areas, designates them as moderate instead of extreme

Newly- designated (TSC) Hardship Areas, hardship allowance and latest payment rates

 The government recently announced more than 60 divisions which have now been designated as moderate while 17 were listed as extreme hardship areas.

TSC has more hardship areas, 38, a source of discontent among other civil servants

Consequently, civil servants posted to the said areas will henceforth be entitled to a uniform hardship allowance based on the magnitude of the tough working conditions of the region as opposed to their salary.

Citing the Teachers Service Commission, TSC which has 38 areas gazetted as hardship compared to the rest of the Public Service including the Forces, which have 15, the minister said that this situation is a source of discontent among other civil servants.

Government cites huge disparities in hardship allowance among civil servants

The government also noted that some civil servants are earning a lot more than others, an aspect that serves to demoralize the lowest paid employees.

These huge disparities have culminated in demotivation of low earners who view their posting to hardship areas as punitive.

“Some civil servants are being paid hardship allowance at the rate of 30 per cent of basic salary subject to a maximum of Sh1,200 a month for married officers and Sh600 for single officers,” said Dalmas.

Due to the disparities in the payment of hardship allowance, public servants earning higher allowances view them as a salary supplement and not partial compensation for deployment in the hardship areas.

Low rates

Other public servants earning low rates, on the other hand, who do not consider the rates of the allowance as commensurate with the level of hardship in the area, view their posting as punitive.

“As a result, the payment of hardship allowance has become a major source of discontent among civil servants due to the differences in total salary package,” Dalmas said.

“This has contributed to resistance to postings to areas designated as hardship with consequent negative impact on service delivery and staff retention,” he added.

This new move will see the budgetary allocation for payment of hardship allowances increase by Sh500 million, pushing the ministry’s budget from Sh5.2 billion to Sh5.7 billion annually.

Latest Hardship Allowance for Civil Servants

“All civil servants in areas designated as ‘moderate’ will be paid Sh 5,000 a month,” Dalmas announced at a press conference at Harambee House.

“While those designated as ‘extreme’ will be paid a flat rate figure of Sh10,000 a month.”

While degazetting the areas, the Government considered various factors such as availability and accessibility of food, potable water, and social services and amenities.

The divisions include Kakuzi, Makuyu, Kieni East and West divisions in Central Province.

In Eastern Province the divisions degazetted are Mbooni, Kilungu, Kaiti, and Kilome.

Rift Valley has the highest number of divisions no longer designated as hardship areas. These include Ngong in Kajiado North and Fort Ternan-Muhoroni in Ainamoi.

Four divisions in Kilgoris affected by the minister’s move include Kirdon, Keiyan, Puirra and Kilgoris. Kapsowar, Kapcherop and Chebiemit in Marakwet West. Tirap and Kabiengo in

Marakwet tops the list from the Rift Valley region.

Nyanza Province’s divisions degazetted include Miwani, Nyando, Upper and Lower Nyakach and Sondu divisions.

Why hardship allowance?

“The objective of paying allowance was to partially compensate public servants working in areas designated as hardship for lack of basic social services and amenities, risk, isolation and family separation,” Dalmas explained.

The minister said the different areas have since been classified as hardship for various public service organizations, thereby creating disparities.

HOMA BAY BASED EDUCATION LOBBY GROUP WARNS SCHOOL PRINCIPALS OVER 2020 SECONDARY SCHOOL FEES: LATEST DETAILS ON THE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION’S SCHOOL FEES GUIDELINE, PROPOSED NEW SCHOOL FEES BY KESSHA AND DEVIATIONS

https://www.standardmedia.co.ke/article/2001351863/lobby-group-warns-secondary-school-principals-against-unnecessary-levies

A Homa Bay-based education lobby group- Homa Bay County Education Network has raised eyebrows over the proposal by the Kenya Secondary Schools’ Heads’ Association to increase secondary school fees as from next year.

The lobby’s main worry is the unscrupulous means that school heads are likely to use to mint cash from Kenyan parents in the name of facilitating development projects within the school.

This warning comes as an aftermath of the Kenyan Government allowing school heads to increase secondary school fees as from next year.

70% SCHOOL FEES INCREMENT 

Speaking at Homa Bay town, the lobby’s network co-ordinator Julius Omuga said it is important to have principals controlled on matters school fees since they are likely to burden Kenyan parents with a more than 70% fee increment.

Omuga further added that many school principals have always invented ways of minting extra money from parents and guardians despite the ministry of Education issuing tough guidelines regarding the payment of school fees.

Therefore, giving them a leeway to increase school fees is like opening a can of worms…

PROFESSOR MAGOHA ON SECONDARY SCHOOL FEES

CS Education Professor Magoha said that school heads were free to consult and convince willing parents to support the development of school infrastructure.

Quoted verbatim, Professor Magoha said, “NOTHING STOPS A PATRIOTIC PRINCIPAL FROM ENGAGING THE SCHOOL’S BOARD OF MANAGEMENT TO SEE IF S/HE CAN PERSUADE VOLUNTARILY PEOPLE WHO WANT TO IMPROVE INFRASTRUCTURE OF THEIR SCHOOLS.”

This decision was arrived at by the Ministry of Education after it was realized that there were inadequate structures to accommodate new students who are likely to join these schools next year.

NOTE: VOLUNTARY PAYMENT OF HIGHER FEES

Professor Magoha however strictly warned against any attempts by school principals to force parents who are economically disadvantaged to give the extra fees.

Only parents who are willing should pay the fees voluntarily.

He further added that the increment of school fees MUST be done in consultation with parents and other major education stakeholders.

The arrival at such pertinent decisions should not be a one-man-show.

NEW SECONDARY SCHOOL FEES STRUCTURE

In February 2019, the current Kenya Secondary Schools Heads Association, KESSHA Chairman Kahi Indimuli presented a proposal to the Ministry of Education aimed at increasing secondary school fees.

In the proposal for new secondary school fees, principals want school fees for national or Extra County schools located in urban areas increased by Kshs 15, 848 from the current Kshs 75, 798. This will amount to Kshs 91, 641.

For national or extra county secondary schools located in other areas, the principals proposed to have the school fees raised by Kshs 17, 773 from the current Kshs 62, 679. This will amount to Kshs 80, 452 per year.

The reason behind this proposal is the fact that the government usually withholds Kshs 4, 196 for textbooks, Kshs 200 for Science and Mathematics Improvement programme, Kshs 6, 000 for infrastructure, Kshs 270 for activity and Kshs 900 for medical insurance.

This leaves schools with only KSHS 10, 600 AS GOVERNMENT SUBSIDY PER STUDENT.

According to the TSC Online Wealth Declaration statistics, Bungoma County has got the highest number of TSC non-compliant teachers- 3, 1117 TSC teachers with some schools such as St. Cecilia Misikhu Girls having 7 non-compliant teachers.

DIRE CONSEQUENCES

As the deadline nears, the 46, 000 non-compliant teachers need to be aware of the fact that failure to comply will attract serious penalties including denial of salary.

Besides, this action gives room for the government to suspect them of illegally acquiring wealth.

According to the Kenyan Constitution 2010, all public officers are required to declare their wealth online within the stipulated time lest they attract heavy penalties.

This law is clearly stipulated under the Public Ethics Act  (2003). It requires all public officers such as teachers and civil servants to declare their wealth online every two years.

The first cycle of the online declaration of wealth took place in the year 2017.

Education sector is no exception when it comes to problems of unemployment.

We have seen graduate teachers who have tarmacked for over ten years without securing a permanent and pensionable job with the Teachers Service Commission. Many have lost hope and others are depressed leading to lose of life.

Recently, the Teachers Service Commission announced 1955 job vacancies for internship. This is just but a drop in an ocean considering the 300,000 teachers who are yet to be employed. Former intern teachers used to cry about the meagre salary they used to earn.

The Teachers Service Commission heard their cries and promised to do something. Reliable source of information reveals good news about their salaries.

TSC Teachers’ News Today 2021-2022:Teachers Express Anger, Frustration and even Disillusionment Following TSC’s Official Announcement of Compulsory Refresher Courses!

TSC Teachers across the country have reacted with anger, frustration and even disillusionment following the official announcement by the Teachers’ Commission of rolling out refresher courses for the Tutors. This happened today at CEMASTEA, Karen,Nairobi. The TSC CEO(Nancy Macharia) talked of professionalizing the teaching fraternity  in order to match it with other professions like law and engineering

 

Most Tutors went on rampage on social media visibly angered by the commission’s decision to make them pay for the courses from their already cash strapped pockets. 
The commission announced that every tutor was to part with 6000 Ksh for the training having picked Kenyatta University, Riara and Mount Kenya Universities for the upcoming training. 
This follows the Commission’s and the teachers Unions’ agreement of signing a non monetary CBA. 
The following are some of the reactions from teachers :

Check out the full details below- Teacher Internship Advert, Requirements, Duration of Internship Contract, Monthly Stipend, Internship Certificate, Application Procedure and Deadline

Latest TSC News on Teachers’ Training 2021/2022: The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) is priming itself to roll out refresher courses for over 340,000 teachers across the 47 counties in readiness for the full implementation of the new Competence-Based Curriculum,CBC in the country.

This is after details emerged indicating that the Commission has been holding meetings this week with teachers’ unions with an aim of paving way for the new courses introduced in 2017, but are yet to see the light of the day owing to vehement opposition emanating from the unions.

Yesterday,  however, senior TSC officials met representatives of the Kenya Primary School Head teachers Association, KEPSHA at the TSC headquarters in Nairobi to explain the modalities of the mandatory programmes.

The meeting was convened by the TSC Director for Quality Assurance and Standards, Dr Mugwuku Nthamburi.

Fresh Guidelines for Registration of TSC Teachers 2021/2022

On Thursday, the commission met officials of the Kenya Union of Post Primary Education Teachers (Kuppet) to demonstrate how the Teacher Professional Development Programmes will be taught and examined and how completion certificates will be used to register all teachers afresh and determine promotions. More meetings are planned for next week.

 

TSC Refresher Courses Training fee 2021/2022

All Teachers will be required to meet the cost of training, a fee amounting to KSh 6,000 each year for five years to complete the course.

The programmes were introduced in 2018 to replace the schemes of service, which guided promotions, but they immediately ran into stiff opposition from the Kenya National Union of Teachers, which insisted that it was TSC’s duty to boost the capacity of its staff at its own cost. It demanded that the schemes of service that allowed automatic promotions be retained and went to court to block the programmes.

The stalemate was, however, resolved under the new five-year Collective Bargaining Agreement signed in July.

Universities Offering TSC Refresher Courses for Teachers in Kenya 2021/2022

The training, which will be carried out during school holidays, will be offered by Kenyatta, Mount Kenya and Riara universities in addition to the Kenya Education Management Institute (Kemi).

“Professional development is critical in that teachers keep abreast with contemporary teaching methods, what is happening in the sector, and in the rest of the world. Now more than ever, current day instructional practices must have components of technology, global learning and the potential to impact a diverse range of learning styles, areas that were not key in the earlier years of the profession,” says TSC Chief Executive Nancy Macharia in an official document.

She says the modules will be an avenue for growth of ethical aspects of teaching and that they will also “grant teachers an opportunity for networking and testing new methods of curriculum delivery.”

“Professional development of teachers is more than retooling as the modules will also be useful in promotions. A teacher’s growth in skills and competence will see them grow in their careers,” she says in the document.

It says training centres will be as close to the work stations as possible, the training will not exceed five working days though online lessons can exceed the period as long as they do not interfere with teachers’ core duties.

Still, performance reports should be submitted to TSC in soft copy on or before the 15th day of the subsequent month after the school holiday.

PRINCIPAL SUCCUMBS TO CORONAVIRUS

Ober Boys High School has tested the wrath of the novel coronavirus. This is after the school’s principal succumbed to the novel coronavirus last week.

 

STAFF MEETING

The principal who has been identified as Maurice Muholo is said to have held a staff meeting before his unexpected demise.

Another young teacher who attended the meeting has also tested positive for the novel coronavirus.

Confirming the incident, County Health Executive Richard Muga said that the infected teacher is a 24-year-old employed on contract terms by the school’s board of management.

The teacher was residing within the school compound alone, now that he is not married.

Mr. Muholo traveled from Migori County, Suna East Sub-County on 19th May 2020.

The staff meeting was attended by five teachers; the principal, deputy principal, two teachers and the school bursar to deliberate on a construction project within the school compound.

It was after this meeting that the principal went back home in Migori where he started feeling unwell. He went to local health facilities in Migori County but his health deteriorated.

 

PRINCIPAL DENIED ADMISSION TO THE AGA KHAN HOSPITAL DUE TO LACK OF A COMPREHENSIVE MEDICAL COVER

He was later referred to the Aga Khan Hospital in Kisumu but he could not be admitted due to lack of a comprehensive insurance.

Mr. Muholo had to be taken to Inuka Hospital in Kisumu where he passed on arrival.

Relevant authorities have already been alerted to quickly trace the teachers’ contacts.

 

SELF-QUARANTINE FOR CLOSE CONTACTS

 

The other four cases that came into contact with the principal were advised to self-quarantine for the mandatory 14 days.

Samples from the four cases were taken to KEMRI for testing.

The 24-year-old teacher who tested positive for the novel coronavirus has since been taken to Malela isolation centre for treatment.

TSC Salary Increment 2022 New Twist; Money Allocation To The Commision Is Meant For Teachers Annual Salary Increments And Other Programs

 

TSC: New Puzzle,Money Allocation To The Commision Is Meant For Teachers Annual Salary Increments And Other Programs

 

Latest TSC News Today show that Teachers had been disillusioned following the declaration of a salary prise freeze for all Kenyan civil servants for a minimum period of five years. A fresh twist however saw the wiping out of teachers’ tears after parliament quashed efforts by SRC to freeze pay rise citing harsh economic times ushered in by the covid-19 pandemic laden era.

Consequently, the Kenyan government rendered good news to Teachers service commission after allocation an extra Sh15 billion meant for payrise and recruitment of new teachers.

 

Reports published by the Daily Nation claim that TSC will receive Sh15 billion 2022/23 financial year meant for salary increment and hiring new teachers.

 

 

 

The Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC), which announced a two-year freeze on civil servants’ pay rise in July, has now explained that, the extra money factored in the ministries’ budgets is for the annual salary increments.

 

National Treasury Cabinet Secretary Ukur Yatani is said to have allocated an extra Sh14.9 billion to the TSC

Therefore it means that the TSC budget has risen to Sh296.6 billion from Sh281.7 billion this year.

 

All the teachers and civil servants are among the biggest winners in President Kenyatta’s last budget of Sh3.31 trillion as he leaves office next year.

 

 

 

(TSC) received an extra money for the 2022/23 financial year as sources say that the additional money is for a pay rise and hiring of new teachers.

 

 

 

All the civil servants will also get a salary increment as the National Treasury has allocated an extra Sh70.8 billion to ministries for recurrent expenditure, including the annual pay rise.

 

Treasury Cabinet Secretary Ukur Yatani has allocated an additional Sh14.9 billion to the TSC, whose budget has risen to Sh296.6 billion from Sh281.7 billion this year.

 

 

 

A member of the National Assembly Education Committee told the Nation that the additional funding “is to appease teachers who are unhappy and that the government would want to do something about it on an election year.”

 

In this year, the commission says that it experienced hard economic times, offered unions a non-monetary 2021-2025 collective bargaining agreement (CBA), which teachers have protested.

 

Education sector has maintained its lead as the largest spender with an additional allocation of Sh21.97 billion for key programmes on implementation of the Competency Based Curriculum (CBC).

 

 

 

In this expenses, Sh8 billion for building new classrooms.

 

 

 

New draft for 2022 Budget Policy Statement (BPS) states that, the Education ministry’s allocation for the 2022/23 financial year is set to increase to Sh525.9 billion from Sh503.97 billion.

 

Ukur Yatani has allocated ministries Sh1.344 trillion for recurrent spending for the 2022/23 financial year, up from Sh1.273 trillion.

 

Other ministries are also set to receive additional funds for development spending as the BPS proposes to increase capital allocations to Sh730.59 billion, up from Sh668.37 billion.

 

This new budget is, however, subject to parliamentary approval.

 

The NS,National Security will get the lion’s share of the additional revenue allocation in the new financial year.

 

The treasury has raised national government spending by Sh133 billion from Sh1.942 trillion in the current financial year to Sh2.075 trillion in the next.

 

 

 

Extra fund of Sh40.89 billion — is earmarked for the Ministry of Defence and the National Intelligence Service (NIS).

 

 

 

Higher allocation to the two is on the back of next year’s General Election and the unfolding security crisis in the region.

 

Defence budget has increased to Sh157.56 billion, up from Sh119.75 billion this year even as the President continues to place key government entities under the military, including the Kenya Meat Commission (KMC).

 

NIS budget is set to increase to Sh45.52 billion, up from Sh42.45 billion.

 

Also another big winner is infrastructure, energy and ICT docket that will get an additional Sh32.5 billion.

 

The budget for this sector has risen from Sh335.8 billion to Sh368.3 billion, with the State Department of Infrastructure securing an allocation of Sh211.4 billion up from Sh195.2 billion.

 

The Transport sector will receive Sh10.79 billion, up from Sh10.77 billion, while energy will get Sh85.14 billion from Sh73.88 billion.

 

The Kenyan President Kenyatta’s Big Four projects have been allocated additional funds, meaning the President wants his legacy development projects continued by the next administration.

 

This allocation for affordable housing has increased from Sh15.28 billion to Sh20.04 billion in the new budget towards construction of over 40,000 low-cost housing units.

 

Our Health ministry also has been allocated an additional Sh5.26 billion for implementation of numerous programmes under the Universal Health Coverage. The budget has increased to Sh126.35 billion, up from Sh121.09 billion.
