The Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) and the General Service Unit (GSU) Recce Squad are two of Kenya’s most elite security units. They are both highly trained and equipped, and they play a vital role in protecting the country from internal and external threats.
KDF Salaries
KDF salaries are based on rank and experience. The lowest-paid soldiers are privates, who earn a basic salary of KShs. 15,000 per month. The highest-paid soldiers are generals, who earn a basic salary of KShs. 200,000 per month.
In addition to their basic salary, KDF soldiers also receive several allowances, including:
- Housing allowance
- Transport allowance
- Risk allowance
- Hard-duty allowance
- Danger pay
These allowances can significantly increase the overall earnings of KDF soldiers. For example, a private deployed to a dangerous area could earn over KShs. 30,000 per month.
GSU Recce Squad Salaries
GSU Recce Squad salaries are also based on rank and experience. The lowest-paid Recce Squad members are privates, who earn a basic salary of KShs. 18,000 per month. The highest-paid Recce Squad members are generals, who earn a basic salary of KShs. 220,000 per month.
In addition to their basic salary, GSU Recce Squad members also receive several allowances, including:

These allowances can also significantly increase the overall earnings of GSU Recce Squad members. For example, a private deployed to a dangerous area could earn over KShs. 35,000 per month.
Between KDF And GSU Who Earns More
GSU Recce Squad members earn slightly more than KDF members, on average. This is because the GSU Recce Squad is a more specialized unit, and its members must have a higher level of training and experience.
For example, a private in the GSU Recce Squad earns a basic salary of KShs. 18,000 per month, while a private in the KDF earns a basic salary of KShs. 15,000 per month.
However, it is important to note that both the KDF and the GSU Recce Squad are highly paid units. The basic salaries of KDF and GSU Recce Squad members are significantly higher than the average salary in Kenya.
In addition to their basic salary, KDF and Recce Squad members also receive a number of allowances, including housing allowance, transport allowance, risk allowance, hard-duty allowance, and danger pay. These allowances can significantly increase the overall earnings of KDF and GSU Recce Squad members.
Overall, GSU Recce Squad members earn slightly more than KDF members, but both units are highly paid.
Conclusion
Both the KDF and the GSU Recce Squad are highly paid units. The basic salaries of KDF and GSU Recce Squad members are significantly higher than the average salary in Kenya.
However, GSU Recce Squad salaries are slightly higher than KDF salaries. This is because the GSU Recce Squad is a more specialized unit, and its members must have a higher level of training and experience.
