Nairobi county workers have embarked on a strike over failure to pay their June salaries.

The 13 ,000 workers, who are members of the Kenya County Government Workers Union, held protests outside City Hall for the part of Monday.

According to KCGWU branch secretary Boniface Waweru,  no worker has been paid despite last week's assurance by Governor Evans Kidero.

They were promised payment last Friday following a strike notice they issued on Tuesday.

"We have families to take care of. Why is the county punishing us? We want our money now," Waweru is quoted by the Star.

In a notice to the workers last Monday, county secretary Robert Ayisi said June salaries would delay.
