County workers missed out on a Sh4.77 billion salary increase that would have seen each of them take home an average extra annual pay of Sh21,081 in the year to June 2025 as governors cited lack of cash to implement a Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) decision.
SRC approved extra pay for the 226,500 county government employees alongside approvals for national government workers who took home an extra Sh38.4 billion.
