This year, the Ministry of Education issued new guidelines for the management of co-curricular activities. The rules specify the pay rates for sports officials, including referees.
For example, the charges for officiating at the sub-county level have been raised from Kshs 2,000 to Kshs 2,500 each day. At the county level, the rates have remained unchanged at Kshs 3,000 per day.
However, the daily subsistence allowance at the regional level will be Kshs 4,000.

The daily rate at the national level will be Kshs 5,000.
The new rates are expected to be uniform and at similar levels across the country because the total allocation for the sub-county level and counties was split evenly across the board, regardless of the student population.
