Controller of Budget Dr Margaret Nyakang’o said the new system will integrate salary payments and automate statutory deductions. The remarks come at a time when a recent COB’s report showed counties owe staff Sh100.44 billion as at June 30, 2026 in statutory deductions and salary claims, with some dating back more than 10 years since devolution started in 2013.
