Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has revealed plans to eliminate all ghost workers at City Hall.
In an interview with sde, the Jubilee governor said the county government has a staff biometric identification system that will aid in vetting and weeding out ghost workers.
The governor said his aim is to reduce the wage bill by close to Sh100 million every month and put aside a Sh1.5 billion retirement package for the current staff.
He said the county was also battling the problem of unskilled and aged personnel who either need training or a send-off package.
“It’s time for us to also give fresh blood a chance to inject new energy and help us achieve our five-year agenda,” he said.
