The Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) has frozen salary review for all public officers in the 2024/25 Financial Year.
The commission cited emerging fiscal constraints and budget cuts emanating from the withdrawal of the Finance Bill, 2024.
โThe Salaries and Remuneration Commission has deferred the implementation of the salary review for all other public officers in the financial year 2024/2025 until further notice, contingent upon the availability of funding,โ the commission said in a statement to media houses.
SRC added that the decision was informed by there being no allocated budget for the implementation of the advised remuneration and benefits for all other public officers for the financial year 2024/2025, which was to take effect in July 2024.
Teachers were hoping to get a salary hike in the second phase of the current Collective Bargaining Agreement, CBA.
