Nairobi County workers are set to go on strike from Wednesday.
Operation at the county will be paralysed in the over 12, 000 workers make good of their threat.
The workers have not received their April pay and their union-The Kenya County Government Workers Union- has given the county government until 5 pm Tuesday to make the payments .
“We shall wait for your action to pay the salaries until Tuesday 16, May 2017. In the event that our salaries are not paid by Tuesday 5 pm, we shall parade our members at City Hall beginning Wednesday until the salaries are fully paid,” reads the notice signed by branch secretaries Boniface Waweru and Benson Oriaro.
The salary crisis arose after the centarl bank of Kenya transferred Sh1.17 billion from its bank account to Kenya Revenue Authority to settle arrears.
Over the weekend, Kidero asked the KRA to refund the money .
“They have been wanting to go to the streets but I have been restraining them. But if by Tuesday the money shall not have been refunded, then we will have no capacity to restrain them anymore,” he said.
