SRC to press on with salary review despite President Ruto protests

The Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) will press on with the planned review of salaries for all public sector workers, including State officers, despite public remarks by President William Ruto advising against any pay increments for the highly paid senior officials.

The commission, which is independent of the Executive under the Constitution, said it will continue seeking public comments on the proposed review until July 13 before gazetting the new salary structure for State officers later this month while advising on adjustments to other public officers.
