Unlawful Employment: Isiolo Governor Guyo Exposed For Hiring 36 Advisors, Highest in Kenya
The county boss was fined Ksh500,000 for failing to appear before various senate committees on several occasions.
Isiolo Governor Abdi Guyo is on the spot for creating unlawful employment positions after hiring 36 advisors, the highest in the country.
The appointments are against the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) recommendation of four.
According to a report tabled before the Senate County Public Accounts Committee, the Auditor General established that 47 per cent of the county budget is spent on wages, denying the residents of Isiolo services and development.

Governor Guyo was also questioned over the hiring of 31 chief officers, exceeding the approved number of 18.
It was further revealed that each County Executive Committee member had five chief officers, each earning a monthly salary of Ksh255,000.
The Auditor General had raised 35 issues regarding the Financial Statements of Isiolo County Government for the Financial Year 2023/2024. The county Government has since responded to 18 of the 17 charges.
The session was also temporarily halted after the county boss who denied all the allegations was locked in a war of words with the county senator, Fatuma Dullo.
The committee, chaired by Homa Bay Senator Moses Kajwang, has recommended that the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) investigate a contract for the development of the Isiolo County spatial plan amounting to Ksh98.5 million, shunning the lowest bidder who had quoted Ksh62.1 million.
The lowest bidder was disqualified because the quotation was low and they would potentially fail to deliver the contract.
The county boss was fined Ksh500,000 for failing to appear before various senate committees on several occasions.
