Kiambu Governor Kimani Wamatangi has ordered an immediate headcount of all workers in the county
Wamatangi says the move is aimed at weeding out any ghost workers from the county government’s payroll.
Governor Wamatangi instructed County Executive Members, Chief Officers, and Directors of all departments to lead the headcount exercise.
They are required submit the official documentation of their workforce before the end of the month.
The exercise will ensure that non-existent workers are de-registered to stop drawing salaries from the county coffers.

“Every CEC, CO, and director of all departments must submit a list of all workers working under them including the casuals”.
“You must also own the list you will submit so that we get rid of all non-existent workers who have been illegally drawing salaries from the county,” Wamatangi said.
Speaking when he met county workers Wamatangi said his administration was not on a witch-hunt mission.
He assured workers that their jobs are well secured so long as they professionally execute their mandates.
“In every department, I want us to start doing the necessary changes that will ensure better delivery of services”
Meanwhile, the county boss vowed to stage a fierce fight against thieves and cartels in the county whose mission is only to loot, saying that anyone arrested will be dealt with without mercy.
