"content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am not aware that workers in the Migori Municipal Council have been on strike since Friday, 3rd December, 2010, due to unpaid three months’ salary arrears. However, it should be noted that the salary arrears were paid. (b) The Ministry is not holding any funds meant for the council. The councils, through Circular No.11201 dated 31st March, 2010, were advised to clear all statutory debts and salary arrears. All local authorities were encouraged to explore available options through which they can raise sufficient funds to clear outstanding debts. (c) The relationship between the chief officers and the council is normal. However, I have directed the Regional Local Government Officer in charge of Nyanza region to investigate the situation in the case of Migori Municipal Council and report back to me for further action."
