Members of Parliament have unanimously approved the appointment of a chairperson and members to the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC).

The seven names will now be forwarded to President William Ruto for gazettement.

National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang'ula announced the approval on Thursday after the House voted as a Committee of Whole.

Before the vote, MPs debated the credibility of the nominees, with many urging the SRC to execute its mandate without overstepping into the roles of other commissions.
