Commissioner’s Diary – Margaret Sawe

It has been a great journey full of learning experiences and getting involved in making decisions that impact the fiscal and labour space in this country. Being able to clarify issues around devolved units that enabled SRC to make decisions marked my most satisfying experience.

I came to the public service to serve. While in the service, one must remain true to the course, the bigger picture, and remain focused on the mandate. The service requires one to make decisions based on the law, and create processes that, regardless of whoever is in charge, one would be sure to still be able to make rational decisions.

SRC is a place that requires one to be beyond reproach, like Caesars’s wife. As I exit SRC, I would like to be remembered as a champion of devolution. I keep saying that this is the last time, and that I was ready to retire from service. This is the third time I am doing so. I am ready to start my next stage in life.

The journey at SRC has been interesting, an opportunity and honour to serve this nation.

Equally, I appreciate the opportunity to serve at SRC and be part of an incredible and committed team. I will never forget all the experiences gained!
