The Ministry of Education has released new guidelines on management of Co-curricular activities this year. The guidelines spell out the payment rates for sports officials; including referees.
According to the latest communique, the rates paid to referees, officiating at secondary schools games, have been adjusted.
For instance, the rates for officiating at Sub- county level have been adjusted from Khs 2,000 per day to Kshs 2,500 per day. At County level, the rates have been retained at Kshs 3,000 per day.
But, the subsistence paid at Regional level per day will be Kshs 4,000.
The rate payable at the National Level will be Kshs 5,000 per day.
The new rates are expected to be uniform countrywide, at similar levels, since the total allocation for the Sub- county level and also for the counties were shared equally across the board irrespective of the students’ population.
