Moses Kuria asks PSC to suspend new and ongoing staff hiring


Public Service, Performance and Delivery Management Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria on Thursday, July 4, 2024 asked the Public Service Commission (PSC) to suspend new and ongoing recruitment in the public service for the next one year pending the establishment of tripartite committee to clear the most critical requests in line with the fiscal reality in the country. The tripartite committee will consist of representatives from the Ministry of Public Service, Performance and Delivery Management, the Ministry of National Treasury and Economic Planning and the Public Service Commission. Citing the PFM Act, 2012, he pointed out that Kenya’s public wage bill exceeds 35 per cent of the national budget. The committee will be charged with the mandate of evaluating the ongoing recruitment initiatives with an aim of ensuring compliance with reducing the public wage bill directive. “Any future hiring in the public sector must be justified by genuine operational needs,” added the CS’s statement.
