Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza has opposed planned recruitment of hundreds of workers by the County Public Service Board.
On January 8, the board advertised vacancies in the Health, Education, Agriculture, Water and other departments.
Mwangaza and County Secretary Kiambi Atheru however, opposed the recruitment of new staff citing the ballooning public wage bill.
However, the Virginia Miriti-led board said there was need to fill various positions in critical departments.
