Civil servants seeking job changes have been dealt a setback after the Public Service Commission (PSC) announced that they would subject such applicants to fresh evaluation to confirm they meet the job qualifications. In an internal memo dated April 23, PSC Secretary Simon Rotich directed that amid the influx of public officers seeking re-designation, there was a need to ensure that they met the qualifications for the new jobs they sought. Rotich mentioned that apart from academic qualifications, the officers tasked with redesignation would access applicants using broad criteria including academic qualifications. The PSC Secretary explained that those seeking job changes in different departments had to meet the bare minimum - have the ability to perform in the new positions. Authorised officers who receive applications will analyse them, prepare a form, PSC3, and verify the authenticity of the academic and professional papers submitted by the civil servants.
