SRC Gazettes New Salaries For Teachers, Civil Servants With Arrears
New salaries and allowances for teachers, government employees, and other state personnel have been gazetted by the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC).
In order for government agencies like TSC and the Public Service Commission (PSC) to execute the rise, the commission has gazetted the new salary.
State and other public officers now receive higher salaries, with arrears retroactive to July 1, 2023. Paystubs for August will reflect the modifications.
SRC Chairperson Lyn Mengich told the media on August 9 that the compensation review applies to both state and public employees with the goal of achieving sustainability.
Mengich claimed that the evaluation took into account the employees who are positioned below the market average in terms of compensation and benefits.
Therefore, Mengich remarked, “this review seeks to harmonise to the extent of affordability and physical sustainability salary structures that are below the 50th percentile in order to achieve equity and fairness through harmonisation.”

State officers are rated at the 45th percentile by the commission, state businesses are rated at 89 percent, national and county civil servants are rated below at 39 percent, teaching services are rated at 36 percent, public universities are rated at 49 percent, and other public officials are rated at the 84th percentile.
The wage rise is being considered in light of, among other things, cost of living adjustments and statutory minimum wave compliance.
She continued, “Including the current notch rise, which averages 3% annually, the increase is seven to ten percent on average over a two-year period.
Cabinet Secretaries, for example, will have a salary hike in the review of around 2% to Sh957,000 from Sh924,000.
Due to the fact that President William Ruto and his deputy Rigathi Gachagia’s remuneration exceeds marketing norms, the panel decided to keep their salaries.
President Ruto had earlier promised to the commission to halt salary hikes for State Department employees, claiming that doing so may deepen the pay gap.
