In August, Gladys Wanga, member of the parliamentary select committee accused the Salaries and Remuneration Commissions, SRC of unfairly targeting Members of Parliament in the salaries review that reduced the salaries and allowances paid out to MPs.

“The SRC circular intended to hugely bring down MPs salaries and allowances is in bad faith and unfairly targeting members of the legislature vis a vis other arms of government,” stated Ms. Wanga adding that the SRC had not conducted a job evaluation prior to it’s review.
