Migori Governor Ochilo Ayacko
Migori County Secretary Oscar Olima said he has received the resignation letter from the 19 employees who have opted to leave the services rather than waiting for the county and other relevant bodies to take action.
Olima said out of the 93 workers who are either having fake primary and secondary certificates, 25 of them have written to the county public service board requesting an opportunity to give their side of the story.
He said the board has given them an opportunity to defend themselves before taking the next course of action.
Migori county secretary said they are also investigating county workers with questionable college certificates in the ongoing purge on fake academic papers.
Olima said there is no witch hunt in the exercise as the action has been informed by the audit report compiled by the Human Resource Audit Institute back in 2023 and the staff headcount report done by the county government.
He said the fake primary and secondary school certificates were confirmed by the National Examination Council that went through the academic papers for over 2700 county employees.
The county secretary said all the 93 county workers with fake academic papers have been removed from the payroll even as the public service board gives them an opportunity to tell their side of the story.
