Kenyan County governments have a bloated workforce, audit reveals

A survey conducted in the 47 counties has revealed that the devolved units are overstaffed.

But despite the finding by the Capacity Assessment and Rationalisation of the Public Service Programme (Carps), the Council of Governors (CoG) has ruled out any retrenchment of workers, saying counties cannot raise the Sh180 billion required to send the excess workers home.
