Public servants took home an additional Sh24.8 billion in salaries between July and March this year, even as the economy struggles to create jobs for millions of Kenyans while those employed in the private sector grapple with stagnated salaries.
Disclosures by the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) show that some Sh29.68 billion in salary increments, benefits, and allowances was approved in the period.
