Prior to establishment of Salaries and Remuneration
Commission (SRC), remuneration and benefits payable to public officers were set
through ad hoc Committees. Owing to the limited mandate of the foregoing
Commissions and Committees, they only addressed remuneration and benefits in
selected sectors and subsectors of the Public Service. The absence of a
holistic approach led to substantial differences in salaries, allowances, other
benefits and grading resulting in discontentment, low morale and inefficiencies
in the Public Service.
This situation was not helpful to an economy eyeing fast
growth, supported by a vibrant Public Service. Moreover, the country was
saddled by a ballooning public wage bill that required concerted effort to:
first, harmonise the salaries of all public servants; and second, lay strong
foundation to manage a bloated wage bill, thus free funds for development
projects.
The public sector wage bill has shown a positive trend from 57.33% of ordinary revenue in 2013/2014 to 48.1% in 2018/2019 as a result of previous initiatives by stakeholders. However, concerted effort by all arms of government is required to achieve a wage bill of 35% of ordinary revenue as per the PFM regulations (2015) and a wage bill to GDP of 7.5% from the current 8.1% in line with average for developing Countries. A fiscally sustainable wage bill releases additional resources to address the Big 4 agenda and other development goals.
