[Capital FM] The Constitution 2010 imagined a country where independent arms of government not only executed their mandates but also brought much-needed checks and balances to the Executive. It is with this in mind that the power to determine wages was taken away from the executive and handed to the Salaries and Remuneration Commission. This commission has brought sanity to the civil service and has even managed to slightly tame the excesses of our parliament which had a habit of increasing salaries willy nilly.
