Members of Kisii County Assembly have unanimously voted to kick out the County Public Service Board after an indicting report by house Labour Committee over abuse of office.

Some 69 of the 71 MCAs supported the motion and asked for expedition of the matter.

The Board officials had for the better part of the last two weeks been grilled by the Naftal Onkoba, (MCA Nyacheki) chair of the labour house committee.

Petitioner Benson Atika had sought their removal on, among other grounds, failure to follow the due process in recruitment of staff.

He accused the board chaired by Nancy Nyamwange of undertaking irregular promotions as well as extending contract of employment for some staff who have attained the mandatory retirement age of 60.
