10 Lavish Benefits Kindiki Will Now Enjoy As The New Deputy President

Professor Kithure Kindiki was on November 1, 2024, sworn in as Kenya’s new Deputy President, replacing Rigathi Gachagua who was impeached by both the National Assembly and the Senate.

Kindiki became entitled to numerous luxurious benefits, privileges, and perks upon his ascension to the second highest office in Kenya.

As the new Deputy President, Kindiki will now enjoy an array of privileges and perks funded by Kenyan taxpayers.

These benefits are crafted to support the Deputy President in their official role and ensure their well-being post-office.

Here’s an in-depth look at the 10 major perks Kindiki will now enjoy as Kenya’s second-in-command:

1. Luxury Vehicle Entitlement

Kindiki gains access to a fleet of luxury vehicles, including two saloon cars (with engines up to 2000cc) and a 3000cc four-wheel-drive vehicle for official and personal use. These vehicles are maintained by the state and replaced every four years.

2. Fuel Allowance

To cover transportation expenses, Kindiki will receive a fuel allowance worth 15% of his monthly salary. This benefit is intended to support both official and private travel costs, adding convenience to his daily operations.

3. Personal Staff

The Deputy President is provided with a team of 16 personal staff members, including assistants, drivers, cooks, housekeepers, and security personnel. This dedicated team ensures seamless management of both personal and official tasks, enhancing the comfort and security of Kindiki’s household.

4. Diplomatic Passports

Both Kindiki and his spouse will hold diplomatic passports, granting them privileges such as expedited travel clearance and access to exclusive services. This benefit simplifies international travel and reinforces their diplomatic status.

5. VIP Access at Airports

Kindiki will enjoy VIP privileges at all Kenyan airports, allowing him access to exclusive lounges and services during domestic and international travel. This access offers added comfort, privacy, and efficiency for the Deputy President and his family.

6. Government-Funded Security

As Deputy President, Kindiki will have around-the-clock armed security at his disposal. This includes a personal security detail and residential protection, ensuring his safety and peace of mind at all times.

7. Office and Official Equipment

Kindiki’s entitlement includes a fully staffed office equipped with essential resources such as communication devices and secretarial support. This workspace is intended to facilitate his responsibilities and communication needs.

8. Lifetime Pension

Should Kindiki serve as the Deputy President for at least two and a half years, he will receive 80% of his last monthly salary as a lifetime pension once he leaves office. With a monthly salary of approximately Ksh1.2 million, this amounts to a pension of Ksh951,240 monthly, ensuring a substantial income even after his tenure.

9. Lump Sum Payment

Upon retirement, Kindiki will be entitled to a one-time lump sum payment equivalent to one year’s salary per term served. Should he complete a five-year term (2027), this would amount to a Ksh14.4 million payout, designed as a financial cushion for post-office life.

10. Lifetime Medical Coverage

Upon retirement, Kindiki and his spouse will benefit from government-funded medical insurance, covering health needs for life. This benefit underscores the state’s commitment to the welfare of high-ranking officials even after their service.

These privileges reflect the level of support and respect afforded to Kenya’s second-highest public office, intended to empower the Deputy President in both their official duties and post-office life.
