Apart from Kisumu County receiving disbursements from the National Treasury, the county also collects its Own-Source Revenue (OSR) that can be used to offset costs such as salaries and statutory obligations. Given the importance of having a motivated and a fully functional human resource, it is absurd that the Kisumu County Government has not prioritized these payments and is seemingly neglecting its financial responsibilities. Such malfeasance from the county government has led to a demotivated workforce with employees undergoing a lot of frustrations pegged to payments of house rents, school fees, food for their families, defaulting on loan payments and some being heavily penalized by banks while others have already been blacklisted by the Credit Reference Bureau (CRB) as a result of this non-payment of salary. In the statement, the committee should- (1) Explain any measures the county government has taken to address the chronic delays in payments of salaries, remittance of statutory deductions and poor working The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
