Vicious boardroom wrangles and interference by the Executive may have contributed to the unlawful recruitment of staff by the Nakuru County Public Service Board, an investigative committee was told.

The committee set up by the county assembly to investigate the irregular hiring of 200 employees was told that differences among the seven members of the Board began to emerge in February 2015.
