How Waiguru is misusing the power of firing workers

Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru is on the spot for misusing her powers. The Governors have the authority to employee county workers and also they have the mandate to fire them.

Governor Waiguru only but last week sent 200 casual workers packing.

John Wambugu (Kirinyaga Central), Gichimu Githinji (Gichugu) and Wachira Kabinga (Mwea) have asked Waiguru to reinstate the workers, failure to which they would take legal action.

Speaking at Kagumo Catholic Church yesterday, the MPs said they would finance the suit against the county government.

They accused the Governor of being insensitive and out of touch with residents. The MPs said the ongoing demolition of kiosks was further evidence of an administration which does not care about the interest of the people.

The county government said it would save Sh48 million annually by laying off the workers. County Secretary Joe Muriuki said the wage bill was unsustainable.
