The Kenya County Government Workers Union (KCGWU) has accused county governments of illegally holding back over Sh40 billion in pension contributions meant for the Local Authorities Provident Fund (LAPFUND). This crisis has lasted over 20 years.
Roba Duba, KCGWU National Secretary General, said some unpaid pension arrears began before devolution started and condemned county governments for deducting contributions from workers’ salaries but failing to send them to LAPFUND as required by law.
