CS Moses Kuria unveils 10-point plan as he settles into new ministry

Newly installed Public Service, Performance and Delivery Management Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria has unveiled a 10-point strategy aimed at rejuvenating and enhancing service delivery across the country.

In a statement posted on X platform, Kuria highlighted that the State, via his ministry, intends to enhance government accountability to the public through the implementation of Wajibika Town Hall Forums, which he says will be conducted in collaboration with all ministries across every county.

He added that the government will also unveil a digital tool to monitor performance contracts, project delivery and the individual performance of over 90,000 public servants, sharing the findings with the public on a monthly basis.

"We will implement a digital Ombudsman tool to be known as Pasha for the public to report all cases of denial of or poor service by national and county government institutions and avail all such incidents for public and media scrutiny," said Kuria.

"We will transform the NYS into a bastion of hope for young people by making it a mandatory leadership college for those who will be absorbed into public service and disciplined forces while also playing the role of contractor of choice for national and county governments as well as the private sector in Kenya and abroad while recruiting 100,000 youths directly every year and creating an ecosystem of 1 million indirect jobs."

The CS similarly announced plans to make Kenya a thought leader in governance by converting the Kenya School of Government into the African School of Government, which he says will take the lead in emerging issues like climate action and green finance among other pressing issues affecting the continent.

He added that the State aims to modernise public service by replacing older public servants with young Kenyans, maintaining an 80:20 ratio between technical staff and support staff.

"We will give every Kenyan an opportunity to work for the government irrespective of social, economic or political status through a digital, transparent and verifiable hiring tool that will distribute available opportunities across the country while seeking to enjoin the Private Sector and Overseas recruiters to use the same transparent platform for jobs and Internships under the mantra 'Jobo Bila Connection,’" he said.
