By MANASE OTSIALOMore by this AuthorMandera Water and Sewerage Company (Madawasco) staff have threatened to go on strike to demand their 14 month salaries. Led by Mr Mohamed Billow a supervisor at the water company, they said the county government has been engaging them in a hide and seek game for the past 14 months. “County chief officer for water told us that their (County government) time is up in office and we should wait for the next county administration to sort us out,” claimed Mr Billow. The water company whose operations have since been paralyzed by disconnection of electricity over Sh800,000 bill, has its managing director suspended. Mandera County Director for water Mohamed Omar confirmed that 17 staff members have not been paid due to financial constrains experienced by the county government.
