The Kenyan government is set to publish a list of "ghost workers" after completing an audit of its payroll system. Public Service Cabinet Secretary Geoffrey Ruku announced that the list, identifying employees receiving salaries without fulfilling duties, including those who arrive late or leave early, will be released on Wednesday, September 17.

• Geoffrey Ruku stated that stern action would be taken against those found to be consistently failing to perform their duties or involved in irregularities like double payments.
• Preliminary investigations uncovered significant irregularities, including some workers receiving double or triple salary payments.
• A new digital platform is being developed to monitor public servant performance and attendance to enhance accountability.
