Governor Stephen Sang has suspended over 1,000 casual labourers in the Nandi County government, to pave way for employee audit.
The governor also formed a special task force to establish the roles and each worker’s term of service.
"We have temporarily halted the services of over 1,000 casual workers in all departments to pave the way for a human resource audit. Casual workers who are providing essential services have, however, been spared," said Dr Francis Sang, the County Secretary.
The casual workers' task force has been charged with ascertaining the number of workers in each department and to establish each worker's qualifications and remuneration.
"The task force shall also identify the vote head under which each casual worker's source of remuneration is derived," reads a press release from the governor’s office.
Governor Sang noted that his administration was committed to trim the bloated workforce.
