Teachers, civil servants and other public servants will get a payrise this month of July 2023.
Yesterday President William Ruto assured that this process of calculating the salary increment of 7% to 10% is already underway with Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) being in charge.
The salary increment he said will be calculated from 1st July meaning the payrise effect will be reflected in the July payslips.
In the first financial year (2023-2024) teachers will get a salary increment of 7% then second year (2024-2025) will be 8% then third year (2025-2026) will be 9% and final year (2026-2027) will be 10%.

APPENDIX 2: COMMUTER ALLOWANCE
Stop taxing us for the sake of making great news
Housing levy
paye tax
Nhif rates
Higher fares
will eat up the paltry increment
Heavy taxes will consume the whole lot. I doubt this government offer.
Housing levy and high cost of living still remains to be inferno in our progress.
Housing levy and high cost of living still remains to be inferno in our progress.
It’s better than none.
It’s better than none…. though they have added exactly what they will eat up through the added levies.
Stop the increament and stop the housing levy.
Why give us 1000 and take 3000 from us.
Foolish government
THEY SHOULD INCREASE 10,000 AND TAKE 3,000 HOUSING LEVY
Kenyans have a tendency of celebrating small things when they deserve.
Let us learn to appreciate what ever little that has been extended to you.Address the wide salary gap between the lowest and the highest paid despite having same academic qualifications.It is really hurting most of us as time goes by.
Let us kneel down and pray for the poor downtrodden teachers
I wish they took the money directly from Treasury and leave our payslips alone
Quite minimal.govt could have given bigger than that
It’s totally unfair to award teachers with a flat rate percent.The lowest should be given the highest percent.
There is a big disparity in teaching fraternity.Macharia Nancy should look into it seriously.
My opinion is that house levy is very little
To his is a drop in the sea.we need more
This is a drop in the sea.we need more
July increment not effected but NHIF ENHANCED DEDUCTIONS EFFECTED.
