Salaries and Remuneration Commission
 

Press Statement
 

The Remuneration and Benefits for State Officers

In promulgating the Constitution, Kenyans made a bold statement on how they wanted their country to be governed. They wanted a system of governance that would entrench transparency and accountability and ensure a realization of basic human rights that addresses existing inequalities in distribution of wealth and resources.

As an independent Commission, SRC was established by the Constitution of Kenya by the people in order to secure the observance by all State organs of democratic values and principles as enshrined in Article 249. 

This places a huge task to the Commission which must perform a social-political and fiscal balancing act in its bid to manage the public service wage bill. To do so effectively, the Commission must receive and consider the input of numerous stakeholders.
