Salaries of EPZ in Kenya

4

EPZ employs thousands of Kenyans.One of our readers asked us to conduct a survey to determine the salaries paid to employees.Well we did our homework well.

Last Thursday we were at the Athi River and we managed to ask many of the employees. One of them is a driver and here is what he told us.

“I work here as a driver; I have been employed at EPZ for 5 years. My starting salary was Ksh 16,500 per month. Mimi huongezwa msharara kila mwaka,now I earn Ksh 33,700 per month. I hope by 2027 my salary will be above Ksh 50,000.

Most drivers here earn between Ksh 20,000 and Ksh 30,000 per month”

At EPZ there are many casual workers who are paid Ksh 600 to Ksh 1,000 per day. In a month, they take home Ksh 12,000 to Ksh 20,000. EPZ is not one of the highest paying institutions, their salaries are only for surviving in Nairobi.

There is a lady I met at Customer Care desk. I had to sweet talk her until she told me what they pay. She reveals that anybody working in customer care earns Ksh 20,000 to Ksh 40,000 per month. Wenye wamekaa sana ndio hulipwa Ksh 40,000. Otherwise, if you are new at the institution, they will pay you Ksh 20,000 per month.

Engineers earn better salaries than most of the employees in EPZ. If you possess a degree course in any engineering program, you will earn Ksh 45,000 and above per month as the starting salary. Within 3 years, your salary will rise to over Ksh 60,000 per month. If you become a manager, your monthly salary will be Ksh 90,000 and above.

Managers are the ones earning decent salaries at EPZ. Some of them pocket over Ksh 150,000 per month. Supervisors earn Ksh 60,000 to Ksh 85,000.

I stumbled on the pay slip of a top manager who has worked for EPZ for 15 years. His monthly salary was Ksh 375,000. He is among the top 10 highest paid employees of EPZ.
