Senators have accused governors of flouting guidelines issued by the Transition Authority (TA) and Salaries and Remuneration Communication (SRC) on recruitment of county employees.

The legislators yesterday advised County Public Service Boards (CPSB) to work independently of the county executive while hiring employees to avoid having a bloated workforce.
