The Court of Appeal has affirmed that the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) has the constitutional authority to regulate the salaries and benefits of public officers in trustee corporations.
Judges Asike Makhandia, Agnes Murgor and Sankale ole Kantai overturned a decision made by the Employment and Labour Relations Court, which had limited SRC's oversight at the National Social Security Fund (NSSF).
The case revolves around a long-standing dispute between the SRC, NSSF, the Kenya Union of Commercial Food and Allied Workers (KUCFAW), and the Attorney General.
The issue began in 2016 when the SRC issued a circular to regulate salary negotiations between NSSF and the union.
