Commission chairperson Lyn Mengich termed the recent budget cuts and the current economic situation in the country.
The Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) has frozen the upward salary review for all state officers following consultations with the National Treasury.
Addressing the press on Wednesday, July 3, Commission chairperson Lyn Mengich termed the recent budget cuts and the current economic situation in the country.
“In consultation with the Treasury, SRC hereby freezes the upward review of salaries for all State officers, and will review the advice for all other public officers, taking into account the current realities of the economy, and a reduced budget to ensure affordability and fiscal sustainability of the wage bill,” she announced.
Earlier, President William Ruto directed the National Treasury to review the Gazette Notice dated August 9, 2023, from the SRC regarding the remuneration & benefits for State officers in the Executive of the National Government, the Senate and the National Assembly, in light of the withdrawal of the Finance Bill 2024 and the fiscal constraints expected this financial year.
