The Supreme Court of Kenya has upheld the authority of the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) over the remuneration of employees within State corporations, dismissing an appeal by the defunct National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) Management Board.

• The Supreme Court clarified that NHIF is a public body and its employees are considered public officers.
• The case originated from a dispute over a Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) with the Kenya Union of Commercial, Food and Allied Workers.
• The SRC retains the constitutional authority to advise on remuneration for all public officers, including those in State corporations, funded through public contributions.
