Kenya County Government Workers Union (KCGWU) Secretary General Roba Duba, the County Public Service Board Chairman Philip Kung'u and the Federation of Kenyan Employers signed a collective bargaining agreement at Charter Hall on Friday. Nairobi Governor Evans Kidero said the pay increment was meant to cushion workers from the rising cost of living. The county's wage bill, which stands at Sh1.25 billion per month, is now expected to rise to Sh1.43 billion.
