Garissa Township MP Aden Duale has requested President Uhuru Kenyatta to step up in weeding out ghost workers in the public service.
Duale has now asked the President to roll out a similar biometric data registration used in the National Police Service to clean up the military.
The National Assembly Majority Leader holds that the military may have more ghost officers than the police.
"We want to ask the President even to do the same to the military," said Duale.
Speaking on Wednesday morning in Parliament, Duale expressed concern over the country's high wage bill being ballooned by ghost workers.
Ghost workers are reportedly said to be gobbling up over Sh1.8 billion annually in the National Police Service.
On Tuesday during the official launch of the mass biometric registration exercise on Huduma Namba in Masii grounds Machakos County, Uhuru acknowledged that when the biometric data was used in the police force, over 4000 ghost officers were found to exist.
Duale also asked other arms of the forces, including the prisons department to be audited in a bid to weed out ghost officers.
The President reaffirmed that the biometric registration will help clean up the mess in the country in which ghost employees have been in existence.
