And also would like to know if 1300 Shilling Pm for medicine expenses is it enough,,,?? whats PM cost if I cater for Indian Food Tiffin Service.?

On medical, that is not enough, it's expensive in kenya. Count roughly tax at 30% of the gross amount then decide. Food is also not cheap gut you can subsidize for cooking. To be an expatriate 128k will only make sense if it net of tax and your main expenses like rent, food and medical are covered.
