    "content": "Order, Senators! Your interruption has assisted Sen. Mpaayei to find some respite. I will repeat that when Hon. Wycliffe Wangamati took over office, he increased the wage bill to Kshs2.72 billion which is 54 per cent of the total county revenue through the following ways- (i) Unprocedurally and illegally employed all by then FORD-(K) Party Office bearers to his office on very high job groups without following the due process; (ii) Coerced the County Public Service Board (CPSB) to create illegal offices such as chief officer in the Office of the Deputy Governor and County Secretary, Deputy County Secretary, County Chaplain, Investment Secretary, advisers and Deputy Chief of Staff/Personal Secretary which are not necessary as per Section 60 of the County Governments Act, 2012 but just meant to reward his cronies; (iii) Appointed eight advisers instead of three as recommended by the consortium of the then Transition Authority (TA), Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) and the Council of Governors (CoGs) in 2013; (iv) Created unnecessary Service Delivery Unit (SDU) which is a duplication of the roles of the CPSB and the County Department of Public Administration and Management; and, (v) Moved county directors to lower positions but at same job groups and giving room to give acting allowances to his cronies. He also moved the sub-county administrators to county departments against the law to appoint junior officers to act thus increasing the allowances and the wage bill."
