About 3,000 Migori county workers have threatened to go on strike over delayed payment of September salaries. Through the county branch of Kenya County Government Workers Union, the group said they expected their salary on October 5 but it has yet to be paid. But Migori County Secretary Christopher Rusana downplayed the delay, saying it was caused by slow pace of government to release funds to counties. “Migori has never delayed payment of salaries even when the country was thinking of locking down devolved units. What we have is an hiccup, which will not end in a strike as the salaries will be paid soon,” he said.
