The Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) is planning significant changes to the civil service wage bill, including performance-based pay and a revised allowances structure.

• The commission aims to tie civil servants' earnings directly to their productivity, with a model inspired by Singapore, where 40-50% of salary can be variable pay.
• SRC Chairperson Sammy Chepkwony stated that these changes are intended to improve productivity within government institutions.
• Other proposed reforms include streamlining allowances to ensure they are not duplicated in job grades and salary structures, and mandating all public sector employees be paid through the Human Resource Information System (HRIS) for real-time payroll monitoring.

The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has clarified that school fees for skill development courses can be claimed as tax deductions, offering potential financial relief to Kenyans.

• School fees are allowable deductions if the program directly supports business activities or professional enhancement.
• The KRA requires taxpayers to submit eTIMS invoices from educational institutions to claim these deductions.
• This guidance is particularly relevant as the June 30 deadline for filing yearly tax returns approaches.

The National Treasury and the Ministry of Agriculture are holding separate public auctions on June 30, 2026, to dispose of government-owned vehicles, office equipment, furniture, and livestock.

• The auctions offer a chance for Kenyans to acquire assets at potentially affordable prices.
• Both the National Treasury and the Ministry of Agriculture are involved in this asset disposal.
• Items will be sold in their current condition, with no warranties provided, emphasizing the need for thorough inspection by potential buyers.

The Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) is implementing the Electronic Government Procurement (e-GP) system across all its campuses following a government-wide digital directive.

• The system aims to automate procurement processes, reduce paperwork, and improve resource management in public institutions.
• KMTC is conducting training for its Campus Principals to build capacity for the new digital platform.
• The e-GP system, developed by the National Treasury, digitizes the entire public tendering process and was officially launched in April 2025.
