President Uhuru Kenyatta has shuffled top finance officers in the civil service in a move aimed at improving efficiency.

In transferring the 30 senior officials, some of who have stayed in their positions for more than five years, Mr Kenyatta said he was keen to break cartel-like networks that were firmly getting entrenched in certain dockets. Some of the officials are responsible for processing payments for contractors in huge projects that the government is undertaking.
