PRESIDENT UHURU KENYATTA EARNS SH1.4 MILLION WHILE HIS DEPUTY WILLIAM RUTO IS ENTITLED TO BETWEEN SH1 MILLION AND SH1.4 MILLION MONTHLY. FILE PHOTO | NMG
The revelation by Tanzanian President John Magufuli that he earns only Sh400,000 a month has cast into the spotlight the salaries of heads of state across Africa and the eastern African region in particular.
In Africa, Mr Magufuli’s pay is less than a tenth of that of his Cameroonian counterpart and just about a quarter that of Kenya’s President Uhuru Kenyatta.

What Magufuli earns as President
Mr Kenyatta earns Sh1.4 million while his deputy William Ruto is entitled to between Sh1 million and Sh1.4 million per month.
It means that even Kenya’s deputy president is better paid than most African presidents who do not receive even a million shillings monthly.
Na umaskini huu tulionayo mtu analipwa milioni moja na marurupu kando! Eti makamu wa rais kenya hele nyingi kuliko marais kadhaa africa. Ati huyu wa tanzania mia nne ni nyingi kwa uchumi wa kiafrica. The pay should be pegged on economic capability to pay not whims of individuals! mwananchi wa kawaida kipato ni dola moja, nawe unaliwa mara elfu 33,000 zaidi. huu ni ugonjwa unaoadhiri nchi maskini!!!
