Members of Parliament are the latest to join a list of public servants who are experiencing salary delays.
A statement released on Friday by National Assembly Minority leader Opiyo Wandayi said MPs were yet to receive their salaries, wondering where the revenue generated was going.
Normally, MPs receive their salaries by the end month between the 26th and 30th.
However, according to Wandayi, this has not happened yet.
"For the first time in our history, even MPs have not been paid as we head towards mid-month," the statement reads in part.
Wandayi decried that other civil servants have also been affected, except the members of the security sector, including the military and police, and teachers.
"For the first time since independence in 1963, the government of Kenya is unable to pay salaries to civil servants and members of parliament Nearly all civil servants don't when or if they will ever be paid. The situation has been degenerating progressively since December last year," he said.
The Ugunja MP noted that these delays were not only affected the civil servants but also the people who depend on them.
He called for the Parliament to conduct an inquiry into the financial crisis including a probe into the operations conducted at the National Treasury, the CBK and KRA.
"We believe a lot of our cash flow problems have got to do with the corruption, tribalism, nepotism, incompetence and plain theft at critical revenue collection points, starting with the KRA, in addition to wrong spending priorities," Wandayi added.
