THE GOVERNMENT IS BROKE-we are officially running a merry-go-round economy and particularly on expenditure....MPs haven't been paid,a section of civil servants have been paid-a small section at that specifically those with accounts at Equity and Co-op.regular police have been paid but APs are waiting.Treasury wants to take back cash from the counties to finance its own operations....someone is lying to you that the main reason why teachers are not being paid is because they went on strike.that's a lie.the money slashed from their salaries will be used to fill in some salaries deficit somewhere.that's the truth.this government is running on a cash crunch and is trying some patch-up economic policy.can't work.even raising taxes will not work.you said you could do without the West.lets wait and see if China,Burundi and Nigeria help you out.by the way what happened to those trade ties with Nigeria and Congo Brazaville?are they bringing business?
