The Sarah Serem-led commission said that the commissioners will now take home a monthly remuneration of Sh747,621, down from the current monthly pay of Sh.765,188.

The wages commission also announced pay cuts on the office of the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) and all constitutional commissions including Parliamentary Service Commission, Teachers Service Commission (TSC) and Judicial Service Commission among others.

Members of the commissions and and vice chair persons will now receive a monthly salary of Sh621,250 down from Sh650,000 per month.

IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati and Attorney General, Githu Muigai will however retain their current salaries of Sh924,000 per month.

Last month, the Salaries and Remuneration Commission slashed salaries of various state officials including the President and the Deputy President, Cabinet Secretaries, Principal Secretaries, Members of Parliament, Senators, Governors, Deputy Governors and Members of County Assembly.

IEBC received a bribe even if they were not to be paid they would still take home money .It does not make sense that UK was leading by over 1M votes from the get go.To add insult to injury they sacrificed one of their own Chris who either refused to be bribed or could not be counted on to manipulate the results or the amount of bribe was too small and they did not want to share guess we will never know the truth Meanwhile an innocent 21 year old girl lost her life and the winner and this election did not bother to send condolences or even money to help with funeral expenses.Politics is a dirty ruthless game .
