Ghost workers paid Sh300,000 in Kiambu County

Kiambu, Kenya: The County Government of Kiambu led by Governor William Kabogo reportedly hired 10 workers indicated as "aged between zero and one year" and paid over Sh3 million in wages to its casual labourers between April and June last year, although no documentation was provided to sanitise the recruitment process, a report by the Auditor General has revealed.

In the report covering the first quarter of 2013, the Auditor General cited various financial anomalies ranging from payment of ghost attendants to a conference and alleged recruitment of underage workers.
