Korogocho ward Mca Absalom Matach Urges SRC To Cut Public Wage Bill Amid Pay Hike Controversy.
Nairobi county assembly Azimio MCA’s have urged the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) to propose strategies for slashing the public wage bill to curb government spending.
Led by Korogocho ward Rep Absalom Odhiambo Matach,the law makers urged the SRC to clarify the salary hikes, arguing that it would be unwise for State Officials to accept the pay increase.
“We don’t want your salary increment,why now , don’t add people salary yet they are doing nothing in parliament,”he Said.
Mca Matach further condemned the move by the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) to recommend an increase in salaries for various senior state officials saying national assembly speaker and Senate speakers have less work to be added more money.
“This unwarranted action is grossly insensitive, tone-deaf and should be loudly condemned and unequivocally declined,” he added.
Speakers of the National Assembly and Senate will each take home Sh1,208,362 monthly up from Sh1,185,327.
