The National Treasury gave a template such that casual workers are treated and their dues are also processed through this particular system, so that nobody is able to introduce ghost workers or people who are not members of a certain county staff establishment. Just the other day, we were seized of a matter where two people were introduced into the payroll. They were paid for six months and yet, they were not employees of the Nyamira County Government. We must also look into the issue raised by the Senator for Trans Nzoia. I am speaking for Nyandarua. County executives make requisitions for allowances for their staff. However, once that money hits County Revenue Fund (CRF) accounts, they void those transactions and use the money for other unintended purposes. It is a sad state of affairs that some members of staff of some county establishments like ward administrators in Nyandarua have only gotten allowances for one month for the The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and Audio Services,Senate."
