Public Service CS Moses Kuria to tarck and publish performance of all civil servants monthly in a move to improve service delivery.
Public Service Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria has launched a 10-point plan to enhance service delivery across all government agencies, including ministries.
The CS said in a statement issued on Saturday that his ministry will collaborate with other ministries nationwide to host joint forums with the goal of making Cabinet Secretaries and other public servants responsible for service delivery.
According to the CS, the forums will be named Wajibika Town Hall Forums to mirror the emphasis on fostering accountability.
CS Kuria promised to monitor the work of all public employees and make available to all Kenyans a report on their performance on a digital platform.
The new direction, he indicated, was in line with the signing of performance contracts initiated by President William Ruto in August.
“We will roll out a digital tool for tracking Performance Contracts, Projects Delivery & Execution and Individual staff performance for all the 90,000+ Public Servants while sharing the results with the public monthly.
“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,” he stated.
On the other hand, he emphasised that he will be seeking to improve the current government workforce with retiring officials replaced by the youth.
He also revealed his plans to ensure 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’.
“We will maximise government efficiency and effectiveness by instituting government-wide Business Process Re-engineering, technology, people and organisation Review and putting in place a coordination framework that eliminates hand-offs, red tape and over-laps for effective service delivery,” he added.
On Huduma Centers, Kuria maintained that he would increase the number of government services offered in the centres across the 47 counties.
Private and international companies will also be provided opportunities to shop in the various institutions.
The Public Service Ministry further underscored the need for reforms within the state-owned corporations plagued by underperformance and deb, emphasizing them as a top priority.
