New Directive Blocks Unregistered Kenyans From Govt Jobs
Before being permitted to work in state agencies and universities, all government employees will soon be required to register with statutory bodies and professional bodies.
The Public Service Commission (PSC) announced on Thursday, August 10, that statutory registration will be a prerequisite for public servants in state agencies and universities in a 20-page guideline for the development and revision of human resource management.
The Engineers Board of Kenya, the Media Council of Kenya (MCK), and the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) are just a few of the statutory organisations in the nation.
In accordance with the new regulation, graduates seeking employment in government must first register with statutory and professional groups related to their fields of study.
This implies that graduates will now need to pay additional costs to cover registration and annual renewal fees to the statutory bodies in addition to other requirements like HELB and EACC clearance certifications.
Additionally, PSC has announced updates to the policy, including the need that all employee contracts provide exact, clear, and short job descriptions.
All employees will receive a full list of the essential talents, competences, aptitudes, attitudes, and key competencies in accordance with the competency framework.
The recommendations specify that while creating career criteria, state corporations must make sure that they include the necessary academic and professional requirements, job experience, and performance standards.
All officers must, however, meet the basic requirements for promotion to the grade, which include the necessary minimum qualifications and experience.
The PSC has additionally instructed the state agencies to create a human resources document that details the duties that employers and workers have to one another.
The manuals will explain, among other things, salary, allowances, and death benefits.
Employees, labour unions, and other employee representatives and boards should have input on the manuals’ development.
“PSC shall consider and approve the Human Resource Management Instruments with a provision that any other comments/concerns be raised with the Commission 60 days from the date of the decision,” PSC said.
