Retired president Mwai Kibaki is set to earn an average of Sh2.86 million per month in the next financial year, which begins on July 1st, 2020, according to reports.
Budget documents tabled in parliament by the National Treasury show that Sh34.43 million has been allocated to payment of Kibaki’s pension and perks in the 2020-2021 fiscal year, Business Daily reports.
This means Kibaki, who served as the country’s third president between 2002 and 2013, will pocket more than double of President Kenyatta’s Sh1.44 million monthly salary.
Similarly, Kibaki’s benefits will be higher than what top chief executives of State-owned companies such as KenGen, Kenya-Re, and Kenya Power earn per month.
The monthly pension of retired presidents is set at 80 percent of the current salary paid to the sitting President in addition to other benefits like fuel, house and entertainment allowance.
In 2015, taxpayers’ cash amounting to Sh250 million was used to renovate Kibaki’s office block at Nyari Estate in Nairobi. The office block was acquired in 2013 by the government at a cost of Sh250 million.
An extra Sh500 million was spent on the building of Kibaki’s home on a 100-acre parcel of land in Mweiga, Nyeri County.

Uhuru is preparing for his soft landing.Forko shembe nyinyio !!!!
Put another way, he makes 60…
Put another way, he makes 60% more than a retired US President who was in charge of an economy well over 200 times larger and in a place where the cost of living is similarly inflated. I’m curious how these figures were arrived at. So Kenyans may be stuck paying these obscene amounts for Uhuru for 40 years. Not to mention his successors, the DPs successors, the MPigs and their successors the senators and their successors, up down to the counties. Kenya cannot sustain this payroll bill for long.
President Kibaki should…
President Kibaki should reject these handouts as government wastage. He ought to be all set with what he collected since his cabinet minister days during the first Kenyatta’s government. I doubt that Kibaki is asking for these things- am afraid they may be using him to set aside all these funds which they can later snatch for themselves (thro panya routes) when no one is looking. Kibaki was likely the least corrupt government official in Kenya’s history and no one should use him for selfish and corrupt gains.
Sickening..
