At a recent meeting with professional associations in Nairobi, Sarah Serem, chairperson of Kenya’s Salaries and Remuneration Commission, expressed her frustration with the government’s half-hearted approach to managing the ballooning wage bill.
“We have to continue telling Kenyans that we have to live within our means, no matter the decision other institutions take. It is our job to do so or we can as well pack up and go home,” said Ms Serem.
