Sonko said the county has the money to pay the striking workers but his hands are tied.

"We will continue with the strike until SRC issue us with a letter for our 15 per cent salary increment," Gachukia said. The workers are now demanding a collective monthly salary increment of approximately Sh110 million which was to be effected beginning end of January this year.
