The list of best paying jobs in Kenya is finally out with desirable paychecks and hefty packages. These opportunities rank above the rest for their monthly salaries and flexible working conditions.
Stats from the department of labour indicates that most hardworking Kenyans do not take home deserved earnings. That is mostly because the existing minimum wage policies are vague and often difficult to implement in our open economy.
