After suspending his PA Walter Mong’are famously known as Nyambane, Nairobi County, governor Evans Kidero,is hiring a special adviser who will earn four times President Uhuru Kenyatta’s salary.
The special adviser will be a chief resilience officer (CRO) at a monthly cost of Sh4.1 million to help City Hall develop a plan to withstand shocks like fires and floods as well as economic fluctuations and disease outbreaks.
This step comes after the US Rockefeller Foundation made Nairobi part of its 100 resilient cities program which sees a city benefit by having a CRO hired and paid for by the foundation to help a city have a plan on management and prevention of disasters and shocks as well as grow to overcome stresses such as traffic congestion, housing and unemployment..Evans Kidero says.
The CRO will earn $1 million for two years or Sh4.1 million monthly paid directly by the US-based firm. The Kenyan President currently earns 1.2 million a month as basic salary.
