Illegalities in the Recruitment of Governors' Personal Staff
EACC has issued communication to all Governors over the skyrocketing cases of illegal and irregular recruitment of personal staff for the Governors’ offices. Those found culpable will be held personally liable for any loss of public funds occasioned by the illegal recruitments.
Each Governor is expected to limit their personal staff to the positions of Chief of Staff; Economic Advisor; Political Advisor; Legal Advisor; Director of governor’s Press Service, and Support staff (Personal Assistant, Personal Secretary, Cook, Driver, Messenger, and Gardener) in accordance with the prevailing Guidelines.
It is reported that in one county, the Governor hired 51 Personal Advisors while in another, the Governor has allegedly recruited a Form 2 dropout as the Chief of Staff. Relatedly, there are numerous reports of Governors recruiting Advisors with limited or no academic qualifications.
Other HR malpractices in the counties include employment of staff without any need at all, recruitment of unqualified persons, payroll fraud through ghost workers, retaining retired staff in the payroll, and county executives hiring or promoting staff without any reference to the County Public Service Boards.
Lack of Land Control Board (LCB) consent does not void land agreements, Court of Appeal rules. Hon Kiage was more candid. That a Vendor cannot use the Land Control Act as a cloak and an alibi for fraud and dishonesty.
