• 25 Jul 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Let me start from where Sen. M. Kajwang left it when he said that the CARPS report should help us to view

• 25 Jul 2019 in Senate: structure human resources management within the counties. However, there has not been a lot of progress in terms of recommending the implementation of the recommendations that were given. There has not been enough effort so far that has been put to ensure that enough impetus is put in terms of employment, redeployment, rationalization, distribution of jobs, transfers within the county, voluntary separation and allowing people who can leave certain jobs to do. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you might recall that when we were in Kisumu, Governor Anyang’-Nyong’o said that may be counties have to think about how they will offload ... view
• 25 Jul 2019 in Senate: In so far as we have a very huge wage bill, which we cannot correlate with deliverables from the various people who work within the counties, then we have a problem. There is a report that was put across sometimes back. Sen. Farhiya who will second this Motion will project more data in terms of how the counties have performed as far as human resources are concerned. This is, for example, by having human resource facilities within their counties having a very huge wage bill, way above what is recommended in those counties. view
• 25 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we have a County Human Resource Management Audit Report 2017/2018, which mentions various counties such as Baringo and Nairobi City. We have a county such as Kirinyaga where the county hired ten administration officers, against the proposed staff establishment that is indicated as only two positions. We also have the case of Bomet where, for example, in June, the payroll audit review revealed 213 new employees with a monthly gross salary of Kshs11million within one year. However, the vacancies were not advertised and recruitment not carried out by the County Public Service Board (CPSB). We also ... view

• 25 Jul 2019 in Senate: are going to have all these employees within a county, then it is important there is control in terms of how they are hired. Secondly, there should be a systematic output that they are meant to come out with. Thirdly, that finally, recurrent expenditure, which is very important, should not take up everything, including ensuring that very many counties are not able to conduct their development projects. view
• 25 Jul 2019 in Senate: This has come up over and over again that in many counties they have not been able to do that. Further, in specific counties such as Nairobi, Machakos, Garissa, Kisumu, Wajir, Baringo, Narok, Nakuru and Nyamira staff salaries consumed in excess of 75 per cent of total expenditure over and above the set limit of 35 per cent. This is provided by Regulation 25 of the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act, County Governments’ Regulations, 2018. view
• 25 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the flouting of this limit of 35 per cent to 75 per cent is more than double the amount that is expected within this regime. It becomes very difficult. In fact, many of the audit reports show that counties have hired more than 70 per cent of staff, far more than what is expected. view
• 25 Jul 2019 in Senate: The other issue is that most of these have not followed the specific requirement that not more than 30 per cent of the vacancies at the entry level should be given to members of ethnic groups that are not dominant in their counties. This has gone up to 70 per cent. view
