The Kenya Tsetse and Trypanosomiasis Eradication Council (KENTTEC) has announced a freeze on the hiring of 24 Kenyans weeks after the Cabinet voted to dissolve nine state agencies.
In a notice published on Tuesday, February 25, the agency said it has been forced to end the hiring as the process of dissolution begins. "This was occasioned by the Cabinet decision communicated in a news dispatch dated January 21, 2025, where KENTTEC was among the state corporations approved for dissolution under the ongoing state corporations reforms," the CEO said.
The notice aimed at those who had applied for the positions said the process had been suspended.
This offers a window into the process of the dissolution of state agencies and mergers that are set to take place. "The Kenya Tsetse and Trypanosomiasis Eradication Council (KENTTEC) wishes to inform all those who applied for the positions and the general public that the recruitment process has been suspended forthwith," reads part of the notice from the CEO.
