The Nairobi City County government spent a total of Sh18 billion on paying employees in the last financial year, with almost 6,000 of them refusing to go on annual leave to avoid losing perks and allowances.
Nairobi City County Assembly Majority Leader Peter Imwatok told a plenary session last Thursday that the county government is unable to meet its development obligations due to the huge wage bill, which threatens to cripple its operations.
