Kisii County will on Thursday hold a headcount of its staff inorder to get rid of ghost workers.
According to the county secretary Patrick Lumumba, the ghost workers have been siphoning millions from the county as salary.
"We shall hold the headcount on all the constituencies in order for the county to know who its legitimate staff are," he said.
This comes just days after the Ethics and Anti- Corruption Commission claimed that the county had a lot of ghost workers.
Mr Lumumba said that the county government would not go on being exposed badly on issues it can deal with.
"We got several projects which are not complete because the county has been paying ghost workers. The money can be used even on development," he said.
"Once we get hold of them we shall require explanation of how they ended up in the county payroll," he added.
