City hall employees have now three months without pay following a tussle with the CBK account signatories. They are now threatening down their tools and protest over delayed salaries.

The MCAs are yet to get their June salaries over a row involving speaker Beatrice Elachi and clerk Jacob Ngwele.

Speaker Ms Elachi has stated that Ngwele is a “foreigner” and cannot be a signatory to the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) accounts held by the assembly.

Jacob Ngwele was restored as the signatory to the assembly’s accounts at CBK in April after his removal in December 2019.

The fight between the two also saw MCAs have their April and May salaries delayed.
