"content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also rise to add my voice. It is unfortunate for employees of the county to go three months without salaries. This is because there are those who have loans in the bank and they accrue interest and penalties. There are those who feel sick and maybe they want to go to hospital but the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) cannot pay for the bed because NHIF deductions would not have been paid same to the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) and PAYE. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I believe KRA should be the last entity to penalize the counties. This is because they are the ones who are supposed to be raising the funds to be sent to the counties. If they penalize the counties and they are the ones who have not given all the money, then it is unfortunate. They need to negotiate with counties. However, this issue of delay in payment should not arise at all. This is because, if the national Government employees in the Ministries do not get late salaries, how comes salaries of county employess is getting delayed salaries? This is unfortunate. I support the Statement by Sen. Osotsi."
