He added that all county staff responsible for enforcement will be assigned specific roles, failure to which they shall be suspended and termination process initiated.
“700 enforcement officers have already been deployed to ensure all illegal structures are brought down, while at the same time 600 hundred new inspectorate officers will be recruited in the next two weeks,” Mr Mueke said.
