Nakuru governor Lee Kinyajui has sent all Nakuru sub-county administrators, their deputies, and ward administrators on compulsory leave.
The leave takes effect immediately.
According to Kinyanjui, the move will allow for an evaluation of the worker's skills suitability and possible re-engagement.
"The board had been adversely and regularly mentioned in recruitment malpractices including bribery and sexual exploitation."
"It shall not be business as usual. We will stop at nothing to ensure the resumption of credibility in this institution," Kinyanjui said.
The governor cited erratic hiring of staff as well as arbitrary promotions curiously carried out in the past four months by Governor Kinuthia Mbugua's regime.
