It may sound as a joke when people are told not to go to work until you realize there is a whole group of people who took it seriously. Talked to some casual employees who live in Kibera and there are sections of Kibera where no one was allowed to leave their houses. It is also coming out that Kisiis are also now a target of gangs that claim to support baba, especially due to Matiang'i.

By the way is Spectre International open today?

I am only responding to this because it came from you. You and I know that you don't belong to this group. You can do better than this. All the garages behind Adams arcade (toi market) are up and running. I know because that's where my car gets fixed. All the spare parts shops here are owned by kikuyus and they are all open.

Our tea girl in the office lives in Kibera. That bit of kisiis being targeted is pure incitement.

Mike Sonko has rejected the Sh25 million set aside for his inauguration as Nairobi Governor, saying it should be used to offset the one-month arrears owed to county employees.

The amount was allocated by the Assumption of Office Committee following his victory against ODM's Evans Kidero on August 8.

Sonko, who was Senator, has ordered county Chief Finance Officer Luke Gatimu to pay the workers within the next 48 hours.

“We had a fruitful meeting with Kenya County Government Workers Union (KCGWU) and agreed workers must be paid before I assume office,” he said.

He spoke to the Star after meeting the union officials who had planned to go on strike over the July pay and other issues.
