To enhance adherence to its circulars and advice, the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) monitors and evaluates (M&E) the implementation of remuneration and benefits through regular visits to public institutions at the national and county government levels.
SRC recognizes that collaborating with stakeholders across the public service enhances the achievement of its mandate and initiatives, and hence, the need for regular visits of this nature.
In this regard, SRC is currently undertaking several M&E visits to KEMRI regional offices and selected public institutions in the counties. This is aimed at engaging the leadership of the various institutions and monitoring adherence to the remuneration and benefits, as set, reviewed, and advised by SRC.
Public institutions currently being visited include;Â KEMRI facilities in Kilifi, Busia, Kericho, Kwale, Siaya Kisumu, and Kombewa. The Commission is also engaging several State corporations and polytechnics based in Mombasa, Kakamega, Bungoma, Kisumu, Eldoret, Trans Nzoia, Nakuru, Kitale, and Siaya. Â
While in the counties, the Commission is also holding several bilateral talks with the leadership in county governments on how best to bolster relationships, partnerships, and mutual collaboration. Â
The visits, which have been ongoing since 23 October 2023, will wrap up on 1 November 2023 and comprise several concurrent teams that include, Lyn Mengich, Chairperson, Dr. Amani Komora, Vice Chairperson, Commissioners, Commission Secretary/CEO, and secretariat staff.
The visits are expected to provide interpretation and clarification on SRC circulars and advice, and agreement reached on corrective and remedial measures, where necessary, as guided by SRC.
To strengthen the management of the public wage bill, SRC regularly engages public institutions and consistently analyses the wage bill data towards the identification of emerging wage bill trends.
