Oyugis Law Court has ordered the county government of Homa Bay to pay its former employee, Richard Bonyo, Sh1 million for defaming him.

Bonyo, a former advisor for resource mobilisation in the previous administration of former governor Cyprian Awiiti, complained that Governor Gladys Wanga's government had referred to him as a ghost worker.

He sued the county government after his name featured in a 2024 list of “ghost workers” who were to be removed from the payroll of the county government workers.
