Civil servants will not have an upward review of their monthly salaries as employers have been advised not to do so to tame a high wage bill.
Speaking on Monday during the 3rd National Wage Bill Conference at the Bomas of Kenya, Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) Chairperson Lyn Mengich said the move will help achieve fiscal sustainability and harmonisation.

“Affordability and fiscal sustainability are a key consideration in any collective bargaining negotiations. Employers are therefore advised not to consider any review of financial items where there is no demonstration of the ability to afford and sustain a review among other considerations,” she stated.
