The Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) has suffered a major operational setback after the High Court found that it has no powers to determine the salaries and benefits of parastatal workers, leaving the functions in the hands of labour unions and the State-owned corporations.
Industrial Court judge Nelson Abuodha found that the constitutional provision defining the SRC’s mandate does not include State corporations whose workers are paid from self-generated funds.
