Four counties in Western region continue to struggle with high wage bills despite restructuring plans put in place to address the issue.
Vihiga, Kakamega, Busia and Bungoma counties have had to put some development projects on the back burner so as to be able to pay staff salaries.
According to Vihiga Governor Wilber Ottichilo, the counties inherited workers from the defunct Local Authorities “but later we received a new structure and guidelines of hiring new staff from the Transition Authority.”
