The hiring of nurses and other county government employees on contracts will lower the pension debt in both the counties and country, Nyeri Governor Mutahi Kahiga has said. Kahiga said governors and the National Government reached the decision so as to ensure counties do not run into pension debts. The governor said the longer employees are in office, the bigger the pension debt becomes. It will be a three-year contract and will affect new employees who will be coming on board, he said. He spoke when he accompanied the Health CS Sicily Kariuki on Monday evening to the Nyeri County Referral Hospital ahead of the start of the devolution conference.
