The Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) is proposing significant changes to how civil servants' salaries are negotiated, aiming to reduce persistent strikes in the public sector.

• The proposed reforms will focus on Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBAs), which SRC Chairperson Sammy Chepkwony identified as a key area contributing to industrial disputes.
• These changes seek to link salary negotiations more closely with productivity and the government's fiscal capacity, moving away from the current approach that may not adequately consider these factors.
• The SRC has already gazetted new regulations that establish a structured framework for remuneration reviews, considering economic performance, affordability, and sustainability.
