The Council of Governors (CoG) has raised the alarm over possible salary delays for county workers, citing challenges in the rollout of the government's electronic procurement system (e-GP), which they say has affected county operations. Speaking on Monday during the 28th Ordinary Session of the Intergovernmental Budget and Economic Council (IBEC) in Karen, Nairobi, CoG Chairman Ahmed Abdullahi said the system had disrupted operations and left counties struggling to meet critical obligations.
According to the governors, the e-procurement system has made it difficult to process payments on time, affecting service delivery and fueling pending bills. Additionally, Abdullahi noted that counties are already facing resistance from key service providers such as fuel vendors who have suspended supplies due to delayed payments, creating a ripple effect on essential services.
