Plans are underway to streamline government employment to ensure equal job opportunities for people with disabilities.
Labour Cabinet Secretary Alfred Mutua announced looming changes within the employment sector to ensure adherence to the law that requires allocation of a minimum of 5 per cent of employment slots to people with disabilities.
Dr Mutua, who appeared before the Senate plenary on Wednesday, May 14, said he has formally asked the Public Service Commission (PSC) to issue circulars requiring all government ministries, departments and agencies to streamline their employment data as per the law.
He noted that the ministries, departments and agencies would soon be required to specifically indicate the number of persons with disabilities employed. Labour and Social Protection Cabinet Secretary Alfred Mutua Appearing before a National Assembly Committee on Tuesday, February 25, 2025.
