By RUTH MBULAMore by this AuthorA payroll audit ordered by Nyamira Governor John Nyagarama, aimed at sacking employees who were irregularly employed, has exposed a massive rot in the county government’s staffing system. The names of several boda-boda riders and M-Pesa agents were discovered on the county payroll following the audit. The audit report discovered that most of the affected staff had fraudulently acquired their jobs with some paying up to Sh100, 000 to secure employment. Governor Nyagarama ordered a staff audit programme in 2018, but the exercise was later politicised and it did not bear the intended purpose. Following the audit, 24 Nyamira County workers were suspended in what executives termed as an act of cleansing the payroll system.
