An initiative to control allowances paid in the public service is at stake as fights erupt between the Public Service Commission (PSC) and the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) over who has the mandate to determine pay for public service workers.

The PSC accuses the SRC of usurping its mandate by directly determining what public institutions should pay as salaries and allowances through its advisories, arguing that it is its (PSC) job to determine what public service workers should earn.
