The national government’s wage bill defied all efforts to stop its rise and instead shot up by Sh89.4 billion in the nine months to March 2017, newly released official data shows.
Controller of Budget Agnes Odhiambo says in her latest report that emoluments to civil servants working for the national government hit Sh274.3 billion from Sh184.9 billion in a similar period a year earlier — a 48.3 per cent increase.
