Kenya paid more than US$500,000 or 322,000 Pounds to deport controversial Jamaican Muslim preacher Abdullah al-Faisal.
This is according to Immigration Minister Otieno Kajwang.
Al-Faisal was finally expelled last week on a chartered jet, after Kenya had spent three weeks trying to deport him.
Meanwhile, two immigration officials have been suspended for letting al-Faisal into the country in the first place.
The cleric spent four years in a UK jail for soliciting the murder of Jews and Hindus.
Kenya's attempts to deport him were blocked when several countries refused to grant him a transit visa and he was stranded in Nairobi.
He was held in detention while the authorities organised his expulsion - provoking rallies by Muslim groups which ended in clashes with police.
Earlier reports claimed a South African security firm had been drafted in to arrange the deportation.
Al-Faisal was deported from the UK in 2007 after spending four years in jail.
The British government said one of the July 7 London suicide bombers, Germaine Lindsay, was heavily influenced by the cleric.
Shoe-bomber Richard Reid is said to have visited mosques where he preached in the UK.
Al-Faisal arrived in Jamaica on Friday.
