700 County Workers Face The Sack After Payroll Audit
Over 700 employees of the Homa Bay County government face the risk of job loss due to a directive from the County Public Service Board.
The board has instructed chief officers to prevent these workers from reporting to work stations. This action stems from anomalies discovered in the employment process of these individuals.
Among the affected workers are 314 individuals not listed on the county’s payroll despite claiming to work daily and another 386 workers receiving no allocated salary despite being on the payroll.
Acting Homa Bay County Public Service Chief Executive Officer Ruth Aloo has mandated that these employees refrain from reporting to work until their engagement terms with the county government are approved by the board.
A letter issued to the County Secretary and chief officers outlines the immediate disengagement of affected staff from public service, pending clearance from the Public Service Board regarding the legitimacy of their employment. Some chief officers have already initiated compliance with the board’s directive.
The Health Chief Officer, Kevin Osuri, has instructed affected staff in his department to obtain clearance before returning to work.
This move follows the decision to implement recommendations from an audit conducted by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), revealing significant financial losses due to the employment of ghost workers, including individuals with irregular terms of engagement, such as children and adults.
