Over 300 Nyamira employees to miss November salary over absenteeism

Through a circular dated Friday, November 23, Head of Public Service Erick Aori directed that their salaries be withheld until the county government establishes their whereabouts when a roll call was taken a week ago.

According to Aori, the directive was reached after the county executive held a special sitting on Thursday, November 22.

The recommendation arrived at during the meeting directs Chief Officers to verify the whereabouts of the said staff within a period of 30 days before any payments can be released.

Last week, Aori made an impromptu visit in all county offices and found out that only a few members of staff had reported to work by 9.00 am.

Currently, the county government has employed over 4,500 workers with the health department having the largest share.
