Government warns public servants over reporting late to work
Public Service Cabinet Secretary Geoffrey Ruku has warned public servants against reporting late to work.
Public Service Cabinet Secretary Geoffrey Ruku has warned public servants against reporting late to work.
This is after he made an impromptu visit to the Rift Valley regional headquarters in Nakuru on Monday, June 23, morning and found hundreds of workers had not yet arrived at their respective offices.
The Public Service CS instructed security officers to close the gates, locking the public servants out of the headquarters.
CS Ruku then proceeded to visit the offices, many of which were locked, while those that were open had few staff.
In a statement following the impromptu visit, CS Ruku said he was angered that a number of the Rift Valley regional headquarters staff had not reported to work by 8:00 am.
“I was dismayed that many Kenyans had come to seek services, more than three-quarters of public servants had not reported to work at 8:00 AM, leaving customers (Kenyans) unattended,” Ruku stated.

He said he will no longer allow public servants to report to work late and directed all human resource officers and supervisors in government offices to ensure public servants adhere to operational guidelines.
“Such kind of work attitude cannot be tolerated in the public service. We are directing all Human Resource Officers and Supervisors in all government offices to ensure all public servants adhere to the operational and management performance guidelines,” said Ruku.
“Any public servant unwilling to comply with the Principles and Values of Public Service as established by our Constitution and auxiliary laws should leave office and focus on other things.”
Further, CS Ruku said all public officers should not treat public service as a side hustle and must serve Kenyans with utmost dedication and respect for duty.
