The High Court on Friday, September 19, quashed the enactment of the Kakamega County Pension Scheme Act, 2022, ruling that only the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) has the mandate to set and review remuneration for State officers.
A three-judge bench sitting in Kakamega, Justices Jacqueline Nyambura Kamau, Patrick Juma Okwaro Otieno, and Chirchir Sophie Chebet, declared the law unconstitutional, stating that county governments lack powers to determine or regularly review the pay and benefits of State officers.
