What you need to know:

  • President Uhuru Kenyatta ordered the fresh vetting of heads of procurement and accounting in June this year in wake of financial scandals.
  • Officers were ordered to take polygraph tests to determine their suitability and integrity.

Following the recent vetting of procurement and heads of accounting in ministries that was ordered by President Uhuru Kenyatta in bid to stem corruption, the government has now reshuffled the officers as it seeks to effect changes.

The audit was ordered on June 5 this year following repeated calls by Kenyans for the President to take action on corruption in the wake of financial scandals at agencies including the National Cereals and Produce Board, National Youth Service, Kenya Pipeline Company and Kenya Power.

President Kenyatta had ordered the state officials to undergo fresh vetting and take polygraph tests to determine their suitability and integrity.  

Further, the officers were instructed  to submit their personal information to the office of the Head of Public Service Joseph Kinyua which aided investigation on how they acquired their wealth.

Through a letter signed by Treasury Permanent Secretary PS Kamau Thugge on November 7, the government redeployed heads of accounting units and their deputies.
