The revised package also provides for annual medical cover of up to Sh3 million for inpatient treatment and Sh200,000 for outpatient care.
Chairpersons will receive a monthly telephone allowance of Sh7,000, while other board members will get Sh5,000.The SRC has directed state corporations paying above the approved limits to comply with the new rates.
