Kisii county Governor James Ogwae [Photo/Egesa FM]Kisii County Governor James Ogwae has dismissed reports that most of the county workers are his relatives and friends.
Speaking while addressing Egesa FM, a local vernacular, Mr Ogwae said that the claims are cheap propaganda engineered by his political opponents to destroy his leadership.
He clarified that the county employs its personnel on merit and regional balance and that the claims are meant to portray him as nepotistic which is not the case.
"I wish to bring to the attention of the people of Kisii county that my government is balanced and geared to delivering my promises during 2017 campaigns.The rumors that I have employed only my relatives is cheap propaganda spread by my political rivals," said Ogwae.
The Kisii county boss also revealed that its administration will conduct an audit to scrap all ghost workers from the County's payroll.
Ogwae's sentiments come barely four days after EACC officers raided Kisii county offices.
