Several civil servants of Nyandarua County government failed to report to their duties on Monday 25th , March 2024 after the county government cut their monthly salaries.
According to these employees their salaries were deducted based on what the county termed as a misconduct.
Gathering at the Olkalau sports ground the representatives of these workers claimed that the pay cut is unfair following the fact that they were working in toxic environments.
The county workers while in the gathering said that their one complaint is that they have been deducted money from their usual salaries
These workers directed their accusations to the county government for releasing threats to those complaining of the hardships experienced that they face within the offices of work.
The county representative indicated that the workers were issued with letters which listed different misconducts that resulted in the deductions from their salaries from their payslips
They indicated that they had been issued an explanation letter, that had a simple question that wanted them to explain why they they worked less hours and want to be paid.

The letter also had a question asking each one of them to explain why they want to be paid for the hours they did not worked for.
As a result to this strike, several normal county activities have been on standstill due to disagreements between the county officials and the civil servants over slashing of their salaries.
The workers complain of workin in conditions that are poor and unhealthy saying that their efforts to bring up the complaints are received unnecessary threats.
Pls this is total wickedness if the workers can be stopped at age 55 better still leaves it to age 60. Some people get job at 30 or 35…then what’s their hope especially in taking care of their children education. It’s better to leave it to 55 years of age. Thanks
The pension date must stay at 60 yrs. Some people were appointed late in age, so if they have to go of early at 55 yrs they will receive a small pension amount and will not benefit from this. If you receive less how will it be possible to help out children. There is no point in this to reduce it to 55yrs.
In my own view retirement should be left at age 60years and those who feel they are okey and ready to take early retirement it’s clear in the labour laws that at age 50 plus 1 a civil servant can apply for early retirement and it’s allowed. Thanks.
