The minimum monthly salary of workers will rise by between Sh486.59 and Sh2,058.17 in line with changes announced by President William Ruto Wednesday.

The President recommended a six percent increase in the minimum pay amid increased outcry over the increased cost of living and new taxes that have cut the amount of money available for footing bills such as rent, food, and school fees and saving for retirement.
