CS Ruku declares chronic latecomers and absentees as ‘ghost workers’ in public service

Public Service Cabinet Secretary Geoffrey Ruku has warned civil servants that habitual absenteeism and chronic lateness will not be tolerated in the public service, saying such workers will be treated as ghost workers.

Mr Ruku, who made an unannounced visit to government offices in Nyeri County Tuesday morning, encountered widespread lateness and absenteeism which he decried as a major hindrance to effective service delivery.
