SRC announces plans to terminate SIX allowances given to state officers in a move to tame ballooning wage bill.
The Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) stated on Monday that it would soon halt the payment of allowances given to state officers.
The new SRC directive will have broad repercussions and have an impact on civil workers in various job groups that work for numerous Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs).
Plenary sitting allowance, ministerial allowance, and taxable car allowance are a few of the payments that will no longer be paid.
Others include taskforce allowances for institutional internal committees, sitting allowances for institutional internal committees, and retreat allowances.
This comes even as Members of Parliament in August 2022 threatened to disband SRC, after the commission proposed to abolish the plenary sittings allowance for MPs and Members of the County Assembly (MCAs).
