In April this year, Civil servants were warned to brace themselves for more salary delays amid a worsening economic situation in Kenya.
National Treasury and Economic Planning Cabinet Secretary Njuguna Ndung’u warned of tough times ahead, saying, the government was in a “financial fix” with nowhere to get more funds.
For the first time in the history of Kenya the government failed to pay Members of Parliament (MPs) and civil servants as the administration faces an unprecedented cash-flow crisis that resulted in delays in the payments.
“For the first time since independence in 1963, the government of Kenya is unable to pay salaries to civil servants and members of parliament Nearly all civil servants don’t when or if they will ever be paid. The situation has been degenerating progressively since December last year,” National Assembly Minority leader Opiyo Wandayi said in a statement on April 7, 2023.
“We believe a lot of our cash flow problems have got to do with the corruption, tribalism, nepotism, incompetence and plain theft at critical revenue collection points, starting with the KRA, in addition to wrong spending priorities,” Wandayi added.
Normally, MPs receive their salaries by the end month between the 26th and 30th.
The government claim that it is in a “financial fix” comes even as Treasury in March 2023 allocated William Ruto, Rigathi Gachagua and Musalia Mudavadi Ksh802 million to buy new cars.
