Regulating Wage Bill In The County Public Service, Kenya
Journal Title: International Journal of Business and Management Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 7
Abstract
Currently, the budgetary allocation for most County Governments development expenditure is lower than the allocation for recurrent expenditure - which mostly goes towards the payment of salaries and allowances of civil servants’/Government officials. It is also worth noting that there are disparities in salaries for County workers even for those with similar assignments and qualifications. This is because the remuneration package is not based on a systematic job description and pay analysis. It is clear from the recent happenings, different government agencies are adopting different approaches to address the issue of sky-rocketing wage bill, as well the issue seems not to be handled with the importance it deserves. In the near future, if the approach is not changed, the Government operations might be crippled by unmanageable wage bill which would then hamper realization of Vision 2030 and a prosperous Country. It is based on this background that this position paper was written, to discuss how this can be tackled moving forward. This paper looks at the current state of wage bill management more specifically in the County Governments of Kenya and outlines some Policy Options. This brief offers some policy recommendations which includes a multi-agency approach, strict policy measures that will be key in addressing wage bill concerns for improvement of the current situation and increasing revenue collection.
