The Senate Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations is set to investigate Elgeyo Marakwet Governor Wesley Rotich over allegations of irregular hiring and mismanagement of county funds.
This follows concerns raised by Senator William Kisang regarding questionable human resource practices, payroll management, and overall staff administration within the Elgeyo Marakwet County Public Service Board.
While appearing before the committee on Tuesday, July 22, the legislator demanded to know the rationale behind the frequent and unexplained transition of employees between permanent and contract terms.
He highlighted reported instances where officers revert to previous positions after serving as County Executive Committee Members (CECs) or Chief Officers (COs).
