NAIROBI, Kenya Sep 30 – The Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU) has challenged the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) decision to suspend the implementation of revised remuneration and benefits for officers in county governments.
KMPDU Secretary-General Davji Atellah accused the commission of applying fiscal responsibility measures selectively to employees in devolved units, arguing that county workers should not bear the brunt of efforts to contain the public wage bill.
“We cannot have one National Treasury and one public wage bill, yet apply fiscal responsibility selectively when it comes to devolved workers,” Atellah said.
