Nairobi City County Government employees have gone for two months without salaries, forcing some to abscond duties.
On Tuesday, some employees said this has forced them to turn to online credit companies with others claiming that the delay could go up to date 20.
However, in a circular to the employees dated August 10, 2026, signed by Acting County Secretary Godfrey Akumali said the situation was occasioned by delay in the approval of the County Budget by the Treasury.
