City Hall employees have threatened to stop the planned transfer of county functions to the national government. The workers, numbering more than 10,000, say they were sidelined in decision-making. Through the Kenya County Government Workers Union, they have given the Ministry of Devolution and the county government two days to convene a meeting with them or incur their wrath. Failing that, they will go on strike and parade outside City Hall from Tuesday until their grievances are resolved. Late last month, Governor Mike Sonko signed a deal with Devolution CS Eugene Wamalwa transferring four critical county functions to the national government.
