Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has ordered a reshuffle of City Hall senior and junior staff who have served in the same department for over 15 years.
He said some staff had personalised the departments “like their family business”, compromising service delivery.
“I have noted with great concern that some staff has served in the same department for over 15 years. There is, therefore, an urgent need to reshuffle them,” said Sonko.
Speaking at a Kilifi hotel during an induction workshop for the city-county executives and senior staff members, the governor asked CECs to bravely fight deep-rooted corruption cartels that have over the years controlled City Hall.
He specifically urged executives in charge of Land and Finance dockets to move with speed and dismantle cartels responsible for fraudulent transfers of properties and stealing county revenue. Sonko said he was committed to ensuring Nairobi becomes the cleanest city in Africa.
