Nairobi County has attributed failure to workers their June salaries to the Controller of the budget for acting slowly in the processing of requests from the Central Bank of Kenya.
County secretary Robert Ayisi in a letter dated July 10 that the delays in the processing of salaries have been caused by the Kenya Revenue (KRA) prompting attachment of County Accounts making it impossible to transact.
The taxman issued a freeze order on all funds that Nairobi City County had in December last year in a bid to recover Sh4.7 billion in unpaid tax revenues.
“The city-county government is exploring all avenues possible to pay salaries latest by Friday 14, 2017. Your understanding of the same will be highly appreciated.”
In May, operations at the County government were paralysed by more than 12,000 workers who said they had not received their April salaries.
