The government, through the Public Service Commission (PSC), has dismissed plans to review salaries for civil servants, citing harsh economic conditions.
PSC Vice-Chairperson Mary Kimonye noted that the escalating global financial crisis immensely impacted the country's economy, resulting in the suspension of salary increments for government workers.
Kimonye, who was speaking on the sidelines of the sixth Women HR Convention in Naivaisha on Tuesday, March 25, maintained that the stagnating revenue collection also contributed to the delays.
She reiterated that, due to global financial distress coupled with Kenya's underperforming economy, government workers should prepare for tougher times.
