Don't touch our wheels, judges tell SRC over Sh10m car grant

Judges have defended their Sh10 million taxable car allowance, telling the Supreme Court that the benefit is a protected condition of service that cannot be withdrawn unilaterally by the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC).

The Judicial Service Commission (JSC) and the Kenya Judges Welfare Association argued that the allowance replaced a duty-free car grant enjoyed by judges under the former Constitution and was carried into the current constitutional order as a protected benefit.
