The Kenya County Government Workers Union (KCGWU) is embroiled in a boardroom wrangle stemming from an alleged flouting of its constitution. It is now feared that the ongoing leadership wrangles at the County Workers Union headquarters are derailing efforts to fight for more than its 20,000 members. They are Matilda Jebet Kimetto (Branch Secretary), Moses Murungaru (Vice Secretary), Fred Buluku (Branch Chairman), Charles Makini (Vice Chairman), Treasurer (Patrick Kasimu), Faith Kimemia (Assistant Treasurer), Joseph Ochung (Youth Representative). If passed, the law will see all pension schemes covering county government workers including the County Pension Fund (CPF) merged into one entity. But court battles have hindered the consolidation of the pension schemes, leaving them running independently.
