The government has moved to regulate the use of social media among public servants in sweeping new changes christened "digital hygiene". The Ministry of Public Service now says accounting officers in all government departments must police use of social media. The ministry's circular says social media posts by some civil servants aggravated unrest in the country. Gathecha wants government departments to regularly train their staff on professionalism especially during the time of social media activism. The training should not be affected by budget cuts to ensure all staff align to the new social media policy.
