The Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) has rejected a move by the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) to review salaries and pensions for judges.

In a letter dated July 25, SRC Acting Secretary Margaret Njoka said the Commission opposed the Judges' Retirement Benefits Bill, 2025, reaffirming its exclusive constitutional mandate to determine remuneration for State officers.

The Bill seeks to provide for pensions and other retirement benefits to judges of the superior courts.

In her letter to National Assembly Clerk Samuel Njoroge, Njoka noted that judges of the superior courts are designated as State Officers under Article 260 of the Constitution.
