County government employees whose job titles have been phased out by technology will have to retrain for other jobs that are relevant to modern organisation, Governor Ndiritu Muriithi has said.

Mr Muriithi said his administration was phasing out the job titles owing to the increasing wage bill as well as digital transformation of government operations.
