He said such would not be entertained in his government and asked them to start packing before the law caught up with them.
“Most of our young men and women need jobs but they cannot get them because unqualified people are holding those offices,” Ayacko said.
He went on; “Let them leave before they are caught to allow qualified people to fill those positions.”
New directive notices
Ayacko directed for an overhaul county offices to ensure that the county has a clean register of qualified employees.
“The minister in charge of workers is hereby given powers to ensure illegitimate office bearers are removed from the said office immediately,” he said.
Ayacko also directed Health Executive Member to ensure availability of drugs and water in all health facilities.
“Migori people are paying taxes but it ends up in individual pockets and that’s why the county does not have enough funds to run its operations smoothly,” remarked Ayacko.
