The National Treasury has allocated former President Uhuru Kenyatta Sh441 million in pension perks in the coming financial year.
The hefty amounts shine the spotlight on the cost of maintaining retired leaders.
Taxpayers will for the next three financial years, starting this July 1, fork out about Sh1.4 billion to fund the former President’s budget.
Factoring pension payments to former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, former Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka and former VP Moody Awori, the amount adds up to Sh2 billion.
Estimates tabled in Parliament show the Treasury projects to allocate Kenyatta Sh450 million in the year ending June 2026 and Sh475 million in 2027.
