Dozens of sacked county government workers have died of emotional stress while others are suffering from mental anguish due to non-payment of their terminal dues.

At a grilling session of several executive committee (CEC) members by sectoral departmental committees of the county assembly at the chambers yesterday, the MCAs accused the county administration of aggravating their suffering by sacking workers when it took over power in 2017.
