Plans are underway to ensure employment in the public sector is purely based on merit, according to Public Service Cabinet Secretary Geoffrey Ruku. "We want to ensure meritocracy is the norm as far as employment in the public sector is concerned," said Ruku, who spoke during a panel discussion on TV 47 on Friday.
According to Ruku, the employment process in the public sector has been tainted because some people are not getting jobs based on merit, but because of connections, assuring that this is set to change in the coming days. "The instructions which I have from the President are that moving forward, meritocracy must be the norm within the public sector.
People are going to get jobs and promotions based on merit.
Employment will not be based on who you know, but on merit, your qualifications, experience, and how you fit to handle that job," the CS said.
