Nairobi County has lost more than Sh41 billion in interest and penalties for delaying to pay employee taxes and retirement contributions.

The amount is nearly equivalent to the county's budget for the current financial year of Sh42 billion and points to the extent of financial mismanagement at the county, which has been deducting salaries but not remitting the cash to relevant agencies.
