Hi,
Seems quite low... very low
In 2010, we paid a KES90K monthly rent... OK it was for a nice town house in a new dev in Westlands...
All depends on you standards (accommodation, food, etc.)
Rgds,
Fab

yes it is enough if you are not a guy who loves too much lavishness, you can get a house of 15k and do a shopping of 5k and the rest you could try hustle or invest, interact with people and get ways, 90k a month is a millionair's way of living, in kenya, have a good connection and life would be easier if you are coming to work here
