We believe in excellence, the employer of government workers has said at a time it is reviewing its internal systems and policies to improve transparency and efficiency.
Launched on August 1 in Nairobi, the review by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), is part of the employer’s ongoing reforms targeting a citizen-focused public service.
This is coming only days after Felix Koskei, the head of public service, decried non-performance and malpractice among government workers, leading to mistrust among citizens.
Anthony Muchiri, the PSC chairman, said during the launch of the review that it was a proactive step by the commission as part of its commitment to continuous improvement.
“We invited EACC to conduct an independent review to help us refine our systems, improve service delivery, and strengthen internal governance structures,” said Muchiri. “This is about raising standards because we believe in excellence.”
Among other steps, Muchiri said the PSC was working on promoting integrity by introducing corruption reporting channels, installing suggestion boxes, and implementing findings from internal corruption risk surveys.
EACC vice-chairperson Monica Muiru hailed the PSC’s initiative as a model of inter-agency collaboration to strengthen public institutions.
“This review supports our preventive work and aligns with the national public service reform agenda,” she said, adding it shows the PSC’s commitment to good governance.
