Retrenchment programme was carried out in 2000; payout has been stalled by years of bureaucratic hurdles.
The government is facing a fresh legal challenge over a Sh1.6 billion compensation claim by more than 5,000 former civil servants retrenched 26 years ago under a controversial public service downsizing programme.
Fresh court filings show the payout has been stalled by years of bureaucratic hurdles, including the failure to trace thousands of personnel files needed to verify individual claims arising from the retrenchment programme carried out in 2000.
