The National Treasury has over the years been struggling to contain the public sector wage bill in a bid to free up more funds for development projects.
Public servants took home an additional Sh32.2 billion in the year that ended June 2024, mainly driven by salary review agreements approved by the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC).
New disclosures by the commission show that in the financial year that ended in June, salary increments accounted for 80 percent of the additional pay or Sh25.8 billion followed by Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBAs) at Sh4.41 billion or 13.6 percent.
