Civil servants audit put off due to lack of kits
What you need to know:
- It read in part: “This is to notify you that the biometric human resource audit that was scheduled for September 15 to September 29 at the Municipal Hall in Mbale has been postponed to a date that will be communicated to you later.”
- Those in the health department would have been the first to be registered followed by those in gender, industrialisation and education departments. The audit excludes the staff in the governor’s office.
The registration of civil servants failed to take off in Vihiga County Monday due to unpreparedness.
The National Government had not delivered biometric data forms, prompting the indefinite postponement of the registration intended to weed out ghost workers from the public service.
The story was the same in several other counties, among them Kisumu, Bomet and Nandi.
Vihiga County secretary Linnet Abdalla said the registration scheduled to start from September 15 to 29 had been put off until a date to be communicated later.
The communication was copied to Governor Moses Akaranga, clerk to county assembly Josephat Musambayi, county executive members and chief officers.

President Uhuru Kenyatta launched the audit on September 1, in Mombasa.
Bomet press officer Vitalis Kimutai said the registration had been postponed until September 22.
Kisumu Public Service Board chairman Wilson Oguya said the exercise would start on September 22. “This date may still change depending on their preparedness,” Mr Oguya said.
In a recent sensitisation and training on the capacity assessment and rationalisation of the public service, county governments were asked to come up with a plan on how the exercise would be carried out.
