Kitui County workers can now breathe a sigh of relief after Governor Charity Ngilu arbitrated and ended a plan to strike over delayed June salaries.

Mrs Ngilu held a crisis meeting with workers’ trade unions officials at the weekend, where a raft of agreements were reached to avert disruption of service in public offices from Tuesday.
