Wonder why elected leaders in a western county have remained silent about the nightmare of ghost workers, even after an audit revealed the severity of the problem?

The ghost workers are said to have played a key role in the re-election of the ward reps and even some MPs and were only rewarded by being given positions in the county government. A county government staffer confided the ghost workers are not going anywhere, not in the near future.
