Machakos County Governor, Dr Alfred Mutua
Finance officers(437), have been sent on compulsory leave and all financial operations suspended in the Machakos by Governor Dr. Alfred Mutua.
The governor at a press conference outside his office, said the move will allow a thorough, independent audit and suitability assessment of staff and financial operations of the county government.
“I have directed all financial officers – procurement, accountants, auditors, directors etc to proceed on immediate leave from today until further notice. They are not to access government premises until they are recalled,” said Governor Mutua.
He said this was among many announcements that will be geared towards ensuring that his government delivers services in a transparent and efficient manner.
“I will be announcing more changes in the next few days and I promise my people of Machakos and the various stakeholders that I will ensure that you receive government services in a transparent and efficient manner,” he said.
He explained this was a way of enhancing efficiency and ensuring that cartels are flashed out in an effort to bring accountability and integrity.
“There is need to improve efficiency, remove cartels and enhance accountability and integrity in all levels of my government,” he added.
This decision he says was informed by his interactions with residents during his campaigns.
