The SRC is at loggerheads with MPs following its decision to challenge the Sh250,000 monthly housing allowance awarded to them by the court. Members of the National Assembly have been faulted against the move to cripple the operations of the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) by slashing its budget allocated in the 2019/20 financial year. The act on the SRC is unconstitutional ab initio,” Mr Wainaina says in the petition. On Wednesday, the National Assembly slashed the Sh545,360,000 allocated to the commission in the 2019/20 financial year by Sh95 million. EXPENDITUREThe reduction, which is likely to ground SRC operations, came as MPs approved the Sh1.8 trillion recurrent and development estimates for the national government.
