Without new revenue streams, demand for higher pay surprising

Detectives from the Ethics and Anti- corruption Commission (EACC) are investigating alleged past corrupt practices at the defunct Narok County Council and swooped on the council immediately after suspension of the civic body clerk. This followed allegations of misuse of millions of shillings.

 For a county said to be raking in billions of shillings annually from markets and tourism from Maasai Mara Game Reserve, it appeared strange that the third richest county council after Nairobi and Mombasa was unable to pay its workers and suppliers in time and relied heavily on bank overdrafts to meet its overheads.
