The Commission on Administrative Justice (CAJ), commonly known as the Office of the Ombudsman, has ordered the Mandera County Government to release all information relating to civil servants employed in the county since the inception of devolution in 2013.
In a directive issued to the Secretary and Chief Executive Officer of the Mandera County Public Service Board, the Commission insisted that the information must be made available in strict compliance with the law. The order follows an application for review lodged by an individual identified as AMA.
The application was filed after the County Secretary allegedly failed to process an earlier request for the information.
The applicant sought comprehensive details on employment, including the total number of staff employed since 2013, their positions, qualifications, designations, job descriptions, dates of employment, and dates of graduation from learning institutions.
