The Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) has gazetted regulations that seek to strengthen the governance of remuneration and benefits across the public service.

The regulations are also expected to help reduce the public wage bill, which stood at 41 per cent in the 2025/2026 financial year.

Even though there is a reduction from 55 per cent recorded in 2020, the current percentage is more than what is recommended in the Public Finance Management Act, 2012, which caps the public wage bill at 35 per cent.
