Civil servants in some 44 state corporations and semi-autonomous government agencies (Sagas) won Sh5.2 billion against the State, as 29 cases instituted against public institutions were concluded in the year that ended June 2023.

The awards to an undisclosed number of workers in the entities piled up a net burden for the government as a result of judgements delivered against its institutions during the year to Sh8.2 billion, a report by the Public Service Commission (PSC) shows.
