    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, regarding ghost workers in the public service. In the statement, I request that the Committee addresses the following- (1) Whether there are any audits or investigations by the Public Service Commission (PSC) and County Public Service Boards (CPSBs) to eliminate ghost workers from the national and county government payrolls and if so, provide the full findings. (2) The financial impact of ghost workers on national and county government expenditures disaggregated by the national government and each respective county government since the operationalisation of devolved governments in 2013. (3) The short-term, medium-term and long-term measures that the national Government and respective county governments have taken to identify and eliminate ghost workers from their payroll systems, outlining the strategies implemented to recover any misappropriated funds. (4) Any disciplinary or legal actions taken against officials at the national and county government levels who have been found culpable of facilitating or failing to prevent the existence of ghost workers. This is a Statement by Sena. Mumma, not by Sen. Onyonka. Sen. Mumma had also asked me to read hers."
