Kenya's total public service workforce has surpassed one million employees, partly due to growth at the Teachers Service Commission (TSC). The TSC remains the country's largest public employer, with its workforce expanding by 5.2 percent to 410,700 in 2024. In a related development, the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) projects that the public wage bill will decrease in the third quarter of the 2024/2025 financial year, with both national and county governments anticipating lower wage-bill-to-revenue ratios. Meanwhile, the High Court has suspended the Treasury’s mandatory electronic procurement system, a key IMF-backed reform. The court ordered that both digital and manual submissions be accepted, halting a rollout the Treasury had projected would save KSh150 billion.
