By MAUREEN KAKAHMore by this AuthorThe salaries commission is facing a fresh legal battle over its decision to review pay for State officers working in county governments. The MCAs argue the decision denies them the right to annual salary increment, mortgage, transport and other benefits accorded State officers. SRC has also been accused of failing to consult the public before making its decision which affects State officers working in both levels of government, the Senate and constitutional commissions. Apart from being accorded a fixed monthly gross salary, the SRC abolished special responsibility allowance and mileage, and reduced the sitting allowance. The sitting allowance for the chairpersons was between Sh6,500 and Sh8,000 but was slashed to Sh5,000 per sitting and Sh3,000 for vice chairpersons.
