    "content": "hiring the mother and close relatives of Governor Sang, happening in Nandi, which is forming the basis of the impeachment of the Governor. Most of these counties; Kilifi, Vihiga, Migori, Kitui, Mombasa, Lamu, Narok and even Meru were being paid through IPPD or payment vouchers. Meru is worse, they pay outside IPPD to ensure the side effects of what transpired in this House--- I would appeal to Members that my office, as the office of the Vice Chairperson of the County Public Accounts Committee is always open to share such information with Members. Of course, this is in consultation with my Chair. In no way am I insubordinating or usurping his powers. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this personal file numbers are inefficient and we plan to engage the national Government through the State Department of Public Service. The Public Service continues to do human resource audit in counties. We would want to know the amount they are being paid, the reports and the number of counties that the Public Service Commission audits. The latest being Nandi, we want to know how much was used. In April 2023, the workers were 3,000. In April 2024, the workers are 5,000, a growth of 2,000 ghost workers. The Council of Governors (CoG) should prescribe and design an efficient human resource management system to be used by counties to eliminate human resource-related complexities in counties. The Committee pursuant to Article 235 of the Constitution of Kenya, as directed by the Cabinet Secretary for the Ministry of Public Service, Youth and Gender Affairs, develops regulations to provide guidance and clarity to county governments on the engagement of casual employees, contracted workers, acting positions and development of a progressive platform for management of county human resource. Colleagues, you have to agree with me that most counties are struggling with labour crisis and it must be addressed. We established in Tharaka-Nithi that the Governor had what we call road marshals hired to maintain roads."
