MPs have won the battle to have a free hand in determining their pay without the control of the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC).

Although the High Court decision is a victory for 416 MPs, it also opens a window for over 2,000 Members of County Assembly to get higher pay as they too have a similar case against the SRC pending in court.
