An exercise to streamline public sector workforce, including compensation and numbers, is nearing completion.
The Salaries and Remuneration Commission has completed job evaluation exercises to determine if jobs are fairly compensated, undervalued or overvalued. This concerns jobs in the Civil Service, counties, State corporations and independent commissions.

It has now turned to the Parliamentary Service Commission, disciplined forces and institutions of higher learning
in the first ever assessment of the worth of public service jobs that began last year.
