[File, Standard]A former Homa Bay county health official must refund Sh10.9 million in salaries after a court ruled he held three government jobs simultaneously for six years. The judge found it impossible for Odhiambo to have worked in Kisumu and Homa Bay simultaneously, yet drawn a salary from both KMTC and the county. Justice Musyoki reserved sharp criticism for Homa Bay county, saying the case was the fifth of its kind he had handled involving the county government. He noted a pattern of calculated collusion between Odhiambo and county supervisors, questioning how a six-year unexplained absence went undetected. It is hoped that systems and structures have been put in place to thwart these kinds of shameless operations," added Musyoki.
