Cherarkey. About 35 governors appeared before my Committee. I have realized that this country is facing the issue of wage bill. We have parallel payrolls in many counties; the manual payroll and the automated payroll. Imagine a county getting a budget of Kshs5 billion and the wage bill is Kshs3 billion. In some instances, it is even Kshs4 billion."}
