NAIROBI: Kenya’s new president Dr William Samoei Ruto has revealed plans to increase salaries of all public servants as the government seeks to raise the morale of employees under the civil service.

About three weeks ago, Ramathan Ggoobi, the Finance, Planning and Economic Development (Mofped) Permanent Secretary and Secretary to the Treasury (PSST), denied reports that President Yoweri Kaguta Tibuhaburwa Museveni’s government was currently broke, insisting that the administration had funds needed to finance the budget for the current (2022-2023) financial year in which the wage bill increased after salaries of ‘scientists,’ who include secondary school teachers of science subjects, were significantly raised. 

At the start of the current financial year (2022-2023), President Yoweri Kaguta Tibuhaburwa Museveni’s government started paying secondary school teachers of science subjects fat salaries as a way of promoting a science-led economy.

National Unity Platform (NUP) leader Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine has claimed that about 15 Ugandans who returned home from Dubai and other Middle East cities on Tuesday were driven to the taxi parks leading to their home districts and directed never to set foot at the main opposition party’s headquarters in Kamwokya, Kampala or even the principal’s home found in Magere, Wakiso District.
