Panic as Kimemia orders exorcise of ghost workers – Weekly Citizen

Panic has gripped Nyandarua county staff after Governor Francis Kimemia ordered new members of the county public service board to embark on identifying ghost workers from the devolved unit’s payroll.
The county boss ordered the board to conduct a headcount to ensure that the county government did not pay salaries to non-existent workers.
Noting that feuds were the order of the day in the former CPSB, Kimemia advised the new body to work in unity and uphold integrity.
It is said that wrangles in the former county public service board led to poor service delivery that led to shortage of agricultural officers and health officers.

We have established, anumber of casual workers in the county had worked for long without confirmation and some earned less than others despite performing the same duties.
The leader of majority in the county Ednard Kingori said he has confidence in the board.
