Tit for Tat! Sonko suffers loss of 100M as city workers unleash their wrath

Nairobi county workers decided to treat Governor Mike Sonko’s administration with a tit for tat game for failing to honor to their demand to their return to work formula.

The entire city hall was hit by a storm of confusion by workers who were more than determined to punish the administration.

Striking workers switched off electricity and refused to collect revenue as the employees’ go-slow entered its second week.

The power switch-off paralyzed operations across City Hall Annex offices and other departments including the director of revenue and cash offices.

The capital has been losing tens of millions of shillings every day as the strike affected collections for parking, land rates and annual business permits.

City Hall collects an average of Sh100 million daily through cash and the JamboPay e-payment system.

Director of Parking Tom Tinega said the blackout and workers strike had stalled operations at his offices.

“There is a blackout since morning but I’m not sure of the cause,” Mr Tinega said in an interview.

A section of county workers who spoke anonymously said they had switched off power connections to City Hall Annex to ground operations.

More than 15,000 county workers downed their tools after City Hall failed to implement a salary increment of between 15 and 20 percent provided in an agreement signed in May 2017.

The county government had promised it would be effected last month.
