Governors lose Sh2.3bn send-off package bid

Governors and their deputies’ have lost a bid to be paid Sh2.3 billion sendoff package after a judge dismissed a petition they had filed, stating that they failed to demonstrate that the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) discriminated against them.

High Court judge Lawrence Mugambi dismissed the petition by Council of Governors (CoG) saying the court can only intervene if it is shown that SRC misused its discretion while carrying out its mandate.
