Samburu County conducts headcount to weed out ghost workers

The Samburu County Government on Thursday began a headcount of its employees to weed out ghost workers as well as streamline service delivery.

Supervising the exercise in Maralal town, Human Resource Director Priscilla Lenyasunya said staff members’ data including fingerprints, passports, work experience and academic certificates are being captured into a digital system.

She said the data will help her office while making decisions regarding promotions, work output, capacity building and eliminating ghost workers.

“We want to know if there are people on payroll but are not working however, the exercise is still going on though not even a single ghost worker has been identified, we want to know the number of workers we have, their qualifications and their job description,” she said.

She said the exercise will enable the county government identify challenges that the staff members are going through as they deliver services.

The workers supported the exercise hoping that it will enable the county government to facilitate promotions.
