County staff taking home below third of basic pay doubles on debt and taxes
The auditor's report further indicates that the number of non-compliant counties (in remitting not less than a third of the salary) increased to 38 up from 30 in the preceding year.
The number of county government employees taking home less than a third of their gross pay more than doubled during the year ended June 2024 to 21,647 up from 8,514 the year before.
The disclosure, contained in Auditor General Nancy Gathungu’s latest review of county executives’ management, reflects the impact of debt commitments and statutory deductions on pay slips.
