TSC allowances 2023. The Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) stated on Monday that it will soon suspend certain perks paid to state officers.
The new SRC instruction will have far-reaching consequences for civil servants from various job categories working in numerous:
- Ministries,
- Departments, and
- Agencies (MDAs)
Plenary sitting allowance, ministerial allowance, and taxable automobile allowance are among the allowances that will no longer be payable.
Other benefits include
- retreat allowance,
- institutional internal committee sitting allowance and
- taskforce allowance for institutional internal committees.
An official at SRC told educationnewsupdate that the six allowances had already ceased to be payable.
In August 2022, Parliament threatened to dissolve the SRC due to the commission’s proposal to eliminate the plenary sittings allowance for MPs and MCAs.
The MPs stated that this would have a significant impact on their income because they are paid for a minimum of four sittings every week.

The retreat allowance is granted to public servants who participate in special tasks, according to an SRC circular released in August 2023.

The payment is only given to state officers who develop and generate policy documents outside of their offices.
SRC further claimed that awarding Sitting Allowance to Members of the Institutional Internal Committee on top of their regular salary amounted to double their income.
“Internal institution taskforces are constituted to execute the mandate of the institution,” said the SRC.
President William Ruto suggested in June 2023 that the SRC should explore for measures to reduce compensation for high-ranking state officers.
This is in order to reduce the country’s increasing wage expenditure.
