Mike Baraza is KPL's Highest Paid Player Earning 85k Per Month


Top 5 highest earners Source - Nairobi News

The Kenyan Premier League is growing fast. For the first time in years, we are seeing people go to stadiums.
Despite the growth however, there's one sector that is dragging it's feet - player remuneration.

The highest earning footballer in KPL is AFC Leopard's Mike Baraza who earns a monthly salary of Sh 85,000 excluding training allowances and match-winning bonuses.
Allan Wanga from the same club earns Sh 80,000.
Dan Sserenkuma, whose future at Gor Mahia looks uncertain, completes the top three at Sh 75,000 a month.

Even though our economy is still developing, it makes no sense for a musician to earn 10 times what the best paid footballer makes.
The money from corporate sponsorships seem to be very low. Clubs should therefore look for more ways to generate revenue, because however you look at it, that salary is too low.

Some artists like Jaguar command over Sh 300,000 per gig, and they can have several in a month.
It therefore means that with the right management and revenue plans, the clubs should be paying their players much better - the economy of the nation can support this.

In comparison to our league, here's what some top African players make in Europe.

Michael Essien- Chelsea               Annual: KSH 570,000,000
                                                       Monthly: KSh 47,000,000 


Diddier Drogba- Galatasaray        Annual: KSH 1.2 billion
                                                      Monthly: KSH 100,000 


Samuel Eto'o- Chelsea                 Annual: KSH 920,000,000
                                                      Monthly: KSH 76,000,000
