The report recommends the suspension of recruitment of non-core personnel until a human resource policy that addresses frequent changes is implemented to avoid adding ghost workers in the payroll. The officer in charge of human resources, says the report “should be instructed to explain where the employees without designations or departments had been deployed”. The report calls for action against officers who were in charge of recruiting casual staff as they were responsible for regular fluctuation in wages. “Casual employees with similar names and almost similar identity card numbers should be requested to hand in their original identification documents for verification to ensure they are not earning double wages,” the report recommends. University Academic Staff Union (Uasu) Moi University chapter secretary Jack Abok told the Sunday Nation the institution needs a total overhaul.
