Kakamega County government to conduct lifestyle audit
By dennis-lumiti, July 28, 2023
The Kakamega County government will conduct a lifestyle audit on its employees to ascertain their sources of wealth in commensurate to their incomes.
Governor Fernandes Barasa said yesterday some employees had amassed massive wealth that was not equal to what they earn.
“We are interested in knowing the tricks and techniques that they use and used to amass such wealth because we are afraid that the proceeds could have been acquired through corruption and sleaze,” he said.
Barasa pointed out while the county government’s objective was to empower their staff economically, they would not allow some of them to enrich themselves illegally.
“We have zero tolerance to corruption and we can not condone those who engage in this vice to enrich themselves at the expense of the general public.
