    "content": "ii. Violation of the Section 74 of the County Governments Act, 2012 by usurping the Powers of the County Public Service Board to regulate the engagement of persons on contract, volunteers and casual workers in the County of Kiambu by directly creating directorates and hiring staff on casual basis as Directors and Assistant Directors, as well as Sub County Administrators and Ward Administrators. Further, to this, the County Governor has hired over 600 casuals without the involvement of the Public Service Board. Upon realizing that he had broken the law the Governor caused all the said staff to be fired exposing the County to risk of multiple suits and loss of public funds. iii. Violation of Article 226 (5) of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010 through the imprudent use of public funds in payment of staff without authorized staff establishment records as required under Section B5 (2) of the County Public Service Human Resource Manual. Examination of the Staff records and payroll by the Auditor General in 2017/2018 audit revealed that the County had employed 706 new employees yet there were no positions advertised in the newspapers declaring vacant positions. iv. Incurring unsustainable wage bill above the expected threshold of 35 per cent in contravention of Regulation 25 (1) (b) of the Public Financial Management (County Government) Regulations, 2015. The statement of receipts and payments on wages and benefit for public officers serving in Kiambu County Government for the Financial Year 2017/2018 was Kshs 5.9 Billion while the actual revenue collected during the year under review was Kshs 12.6 billion, an indication that the percentage of wages and benefits of public officers to the total revenue was 47 per cent. ` The net effect of the above audited scenario is unsustainable bloated wage bill therefore revenue collected is used to finance wages instead of financing development projects that enhances service delivery and overall wellbeing of Kiambu County residents. Hon. (Gov.) Waititu, how do you plead; guilty or not guilty?"
