Nyamira Governor John Nyagarama has warned lazy county officials vowing to sack them for sleeping on the job.
Nyagarama has been on the record on a number of occasions threatening to sack lazy workers even though there are no records to show that anyone has been fired out of laziness or engaging in corruption under his regime.
Speaking outside the county offices during the signing of performance contracts by county workers from various departments, he said he will not lose his job out of someone else’s laziness.
“You were given that job not because you are the only qualified person but because we trusted you. You must work extra hard and ensure that we deliver to our people since you get paid out of their taxes,” said Nyagarama.
“I am not ready to lose my re-election just because of your laziness. Those who cannot carry out their duties should be ready to face the axe. We must work collectively because in the end, it’s the Governor who takes the blame for work not done,” he added.
County Secretary Erick Onchana also urged workers to be responsible and work for the people of Nyamira failure to which they well be send packing.
