Reforms brought about by the Constitution have improved service
delivery in the government, Public Service Commission chairman Margaret
Kobia has said.
She said that PSC has come up with
guidelines for evaluating how public servants are maintaining the values
set out in the Constitution.
She was speaking in Meru
on Saturday when she presented a congratulatory message to the Meru
Central Deputy County Commissioner, Samuel Kimiti for winning the Huduma
Ombudsman Award.

INTRODUCED BASEBALL IN MERU
Mr
Kimiti won the award for introducing baseball in Meru through which he
has been spearheading conservation and youth empowerment.
Prof Kobia said the PSC has improved service management systems to ensure the government delivers on its mandate.
“When we got the new Constitution it had become clear that the public service had not performed as expected.
“We
are making sure the opportunities for public servants in terms of
promotion, appointments and advancement are in line with the
Constitution,” Prof Kobia said.
She said there is
clarity of roles in the public service adding that the Constitution
provides for continuous transformation of the public sector.
“Looking at the Constitution the public service sector is doing well.
“We
have won the United Nations public service award through Huduma Kenya.
The Meru Central deputy county commissioner has been awarded and
promoted for exemplary performance. This means we are doing well,” she
said.
The PSC boss said the sector has been facing
challenges of human resource management and lack of capacity during the
transition period.
