Parastatals are those state corporations or public corporations which the government fully controls. Full control by the government means that the government owns more than 95% of the total share capital.
Consequently, the parastatals have lots of money; some pay less while some pay more. ‘Less’ here is relative and it’s not the less of other occupations. Parastatals are generally among the top paying institutions in Kenya.
