Nandi Governor Stephen Sang has announced that 1,000 casual workers sacked in October 2017 will be reinstated.
According to reports, three suicides reported over the past few months are said to have pushed GovernorSang to arrive at the decision.
"The Executive Committee is now in agreement that all workers who had been sent home should be reinstated. They will, therefore, sign new contracts," the Governor announced.
The youthful governor further explained that the circumstances leading to their dismissal were being handled.
"Several senior county officers who were engaged in the unlawful engagement of casual workers are currently facing the disciplinary process. County workers should not be punished for other people's mistakes," Governor Sang stated.
At the time of dismissal, Senator Samson Cherargei accused the Governor of laying off workers on claims that they were loyalists to his predecessor
