Nairobi——Busia参议员Okiya Omtatah对各郡政府日益频繁的拖欠工资现象表示担忧。\n\n这位参议员公开支持Kisumu郡政府的工人。这些工人于周一举行了和平纠察和示威活动，要求发放被拖欠的工资。\n\n他指出，这场危机远不止存在于Kisumu County，它反映出公共财政管理中深层次的失误。\n\nOmtatah表示：“我坚定地与Kisumu County的工人站在一道，他们选择了宪法赋予的和平纠察方式来讨要自己的血汗钱。任何劳动者都不应该为了领取本就应得的报酬而去游行示威。”\n\n他强调，按时发放薪水是法律义务，而非雇主的善意举措。\n\n他说：“发放薪水是法律义务，而不是善行。我们还必须面对一个更深层次的问题：为什么会有如此多的郡政府屡屡无法按时向工人支付薪水？这已不再是个别现象。”\n\nOmtatah认为，接连发生的延迟发薪现象，凸显出各郡政府在公共财政管理、预算编制、支出优先级排序以及问责机制方面存在系统性缺陷。

Nairobi — Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah has raised concerns over what he describes as a growing pattern of delayed salary payments across county governments.

The senator spoke in support of workers from the County Government of Kisumu who staged a peaceful picketing and demonstration on Monday to demand payment of their outstanding salaries.

He argued that the crisis extends far beyond Kisumu County and reflects deep-rooted failures in public financial management

"I stand in full solidarity with the workers of Kisumu County who have chosen the constitutional path of peaceful picketing to demand payment of their hard-earned salaries. No worker should have to demonstrate to receive wages they have already earned," Omtatah said.

He stressed that paying employees on time is a legal obligation rather than an act of goodwill by employers.

"Paying salaries is a legal obligation, not an act of goodwill. We must also confront a deeper question. Why are so many county governments consistently unable to pay workers on time? This is no longer an isolated problem," he said.

According to Omtatah, the recurring delays point to systemic weaknesses in public finance management, budgeting, prioritisation of expenditure, and accountability within county governments.
