Kilifi County Governor Gideon Mung'aro, accused by contractors over unpaid dues. [File, Standard]

Several contractors and vendors who supplied goods and rendered services to the Kilifi County government have sounded the alarm over long-standing unpaid billions of shillings, claiming county officials have used intimidation when they seek payment.

Speaking in Kilifi town, the contractors said they have endured more than three years of financial struggle after the county officials allegedly failed to honour their contracts.

Led by Joshua Chai, the contractors accused Governor Gideon Mung'aro and his administration of lying to the Senate Public Accounts Committee that his administration had been paying suppliers.
