The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has retained its position as the largest public service employer, according to a new Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) report released on Monday.
According to the report, public sector employment crossed the one million mark in 2024, as the government retained its status as a significant employer in the country.
Some institutions, however, are growing much faster than others. The total number of public service employees reached 1.023 million in 2024, marking a 3.1 per cent increase from the previous year, SRC noted.
TSC, being the largest public service employer, saw the highest employment growth among public bodies at 5.2 per cent, with its workforce rising from 390,400 in 2023 to 410,700 in 2024. A section of Teachers Service Commission Headquarters (TSC) building in Upperhill, Nairobi.
