Cuban doctors are set to join the list of super-paid government employees following their placement in Job Group S that comes with a take-home pay of up to Sh882,180 per month.

That compensation band puts the doctors from the Central American nation above principal secretaries, parliamentary majority and minority leaders, the Vice-Chief of Defence Forces, the Army Commander, the Inspector-General of Police and the Director of National Intelligence Service, who are paid Sh765,188 a month.
