NAIROBI, Kenya, Oct 16 – Public Service Cabinet Secretary Ruku GK has revoked payroll system access for 84 human resources officers and ordered them to proceed on mandatory 30-day leave following preliminary investigations into suspected irregularities in the public service payroll.
The directive follows investigations by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), which have reportedly uncovered suspicious transactions in the payroll systems of the Ministry of Health, Kenya Police Service and Kenya Prisons Service.
Ruku said the administrative measures would allow further forensic investigations into the flagged transactions, which may have resulted in the loss of public funds.
