A union has criticised a headcount of county employees, terming it a witch-hunt.
Kenya County Government Workers Union Nyanza Chapter Chairman Charles Opiyo said workers had reported cases of intimidation in the process, which started on June 4.
Addressing the media in Migori yesterday, Mr Opiyo claimed even though the workers had agreed to comply with the exercise, they read malice in it. Some of them were turned away due to lack of non-critical documents, he said.
"We think the aim of the exercise is turning out to be political and we wish to inform the county government that should there be victimisation, we will take legal action," added Opiyo.
He said the memo instructing workers to present themselves for the headcount came out a day to the start of the exercise, which made it hard for the workers to trace all their documents.
