The labour, public service, and remuneration sectors have faced significant changes after the National Assembly Parliamentary Committee on Budget and Appropriations made significant amendments to the proposed 2025/26 budget estimates, revising allocations.
The review, prompted by variations from the Budget Policy Statement (BPS), revealed that several state departments requested higher allocations than initially approved, mentioning operational shortfalls and the need to complete ongoing projects.
Among the affected departments are the State Department for Labour and Skills Development, the State Department for Public Service and Human Capital Development, the Public Service Commission, and the Salaries and Remuneration Commission.
The State Department for Labour was allocated Ksh5.043 billion, consisting of Ksh4.255 billion for recurrent expenses and Ksh788.6 million for development.
