NAIROBI: It became evident Tuesday during the vetting of the nominee to the position of Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) Chief Executive Officer Anne Gitau that MPs are yet to forgive the commission for reducing their salaries and allowances last year.

Ms Gitau found herself on the firing line of members of a vetting committee as she battled to convince the MPs to recommend her name as CEO to the commission, a position she has been holding in acting capacity for the last 16 months.
