High court judge, Justice George Odunga has temporarily barred Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) from implementing the slashed remuneration and benefits for state officers and Members of Parliament.

SRC in a gazette notice dated July 7, 2017 had proposed new salary cuts for state officers in the executive of the national government in a move aimed at saving the taxpayer Sh9 billion annually.
