The Senate has uncovered a web of corruption and nepotism within the County Government of Garissa.
It has been revealed that Governor Nathif Jama has been withdrawing money from public coffers without any chief officers for over two years.
He was taken to task by a senate committee as to why he operated without some Chief Officers for two years not as per the law.
Jama appeared before the Committee on Devolution and Inter-Governmental Relations to deliberate on a statement sought by Garissa Senator Abdul Haji on the state of governance in the county.
The committee heard he has been employing his relatives in key positions within the government.
They include Chief Financial Officer, Head of Payroll, Director of HR, and many other crucial positions for his inner family.
The committee exposed how the entire county government is rife with corruption, nepotism, and discrimination.
The Governor and County Secretary were accused of employing their siblings in various positions, further perpetuating the culture of corruption.
One of the most examples of corruption within the County is the HR fraud orchestrated by Director of HR, Ibrahim Korrow, the team heard.
Jama was promoted to appoint the remaining officers as required by law.
