CPSB salary scales 2026

County governments in Kenya hire through County Public Service Boards and pay on the CPSB scale, set nationally so the same grade pays the same range in every county. These are the monthly scales county boards themselves state in their current adverts, with a link to each advert.

Updated 10 November 2026 from 37 official adverts, checked against the official SRC salary table.

The 2023 column is the official scale from the Salaries and Remuneration Commission circular that set county pay for July 2023 (SRC circular SRC/TS/29 (83), 22 August 2023 - county civil service basic salary scales, Phase I). The second phase of that review took effect in 2024/2025, which is why current adverts state slightly higher figures. A stated scale that falls below its 2023 grade, or into a more senior grade's range, is treated as a misread and left out.

Scales are the basic monthly pay band each advert states. Allowances (house, commuter, leave) are paid on top and vary by employer and station; the advert for each job is the final word.
