The Government has announced a major shake-up in accounting and procurement departments across all ministries, leading to transfers of more than 7,000 staff.
The reshuffle will also affect audit staff, making it the biggest overhaul of the employees who deal with money and tender documents in the central government.
Treasury Secretary Henry Rotich said the redeployment is aimed at breaking cartels in Government and improving efficiency in delivering services.
“We have about 4,000 accountants and more than 3,000 other employees in other departments who will be affected. It will affect all ministries across the board,” Mr Rotich told The Standard yesterday.
Rotich, who spoke on the sidelines of a World Bank workshop on affordable housing in Kenya, said that all affected staff have been asked to report to their new stations latest tomorrow morning.
“We have people who have been at one station for over 35 years and they do not know any other ministry. They have formed cartels and that is what we want to break. I issued the circular two weeks ago and they will be required to report to their new stations by Friday this week,” Rotich said.
