The government has assured workers that an increment in the minimum wage is on the way despite doubts owing to statements from some stakeholders.
Last week, President Uhuru Kenyatta asked the private sector to increase salaries of workers.
The government, the Central Organisation of Trade Unions (COTU) and the Salaries and Remunerations Commissions (SRC) are in discussions about an increment in the minimum wage for public sector workers.
State House Spokesperson Manoah Esipisu, who addressed the press at the Kisumu State Lodge Sunday said workers, should have no doubt about the expected minimum wage increment.
Esipisu also said President Kenyatta is waiting for recommendations from the National Police Service Commission and the SRC on the subject of salaries for members of the security agencies.
He said the welfare of security officers is a paramount concern to President Kenyatta.
