Kisumu County Employees to get their July salary of shs 300M.

THE County Government of Kisumu has assured its workers that they will start receiving their July salary this week as process to pay them is complete.

The Kisumu County Executive Committee Member in charge of Finance and Economic Planning Nerry Achar says already the Governor of Kisumu Prof. Peter Anyang’ Nyong’o has put measures in place so as to ensure that all the workers get their July salary which has not been paid.

Addressing the press at his office today before meeting the Kisumu County Government Workers Union’s officials on the issue of the salaries, Achar said the Governor has also assured the workers that they will get their August salary soon.

Achar has stated that the July salary the County Government of Kisumu is owing its workers is shs 300million, adding that in one financial year, the county pays a total of shs 3.5 billion as salaries to its workers.

The CEC finance has urged the public not to engage to rumors going round that some quarters will pay salaries of the county Government workers by Friday this week as appeared in a section of media, adding that the salaries of the county government workers are paid by the executive wing of the county government headed by the current Governor.

“I want to categorically states that the salaries of all the employees of the county government of Kisumu is purely paid by the executive wing of the county government headed by Governor Prof. Peter Anyang’ Nyong’o and not anyone else,” Achar says.

He has pleaded with all the workers of the county Government to go back to their places of work, adding that they will start getting their July salary this week.

Achar has however admitted that the two days’ go slow by employees of the county has really affected the revenue collection for the county since the go slow started on Tuesday this week.

He also said the County Government will also remit statutory deductions which has not been remitted due to delays from the National Treasury to release funding to the counties.
