NAKURU: A row is brewing in Nakuru County Government over hiring of senior staff after it emerged that some officers could be serving in non-existent positions.

In a county with 55 wards, the Nakuru County Public Service board recruited 80 ward administrators and 11 deputy sub-county ward administrators even though the position had not been sanctioned by the assembly.
