No Term Extensions Beyond Retirement Age as Directed by Felix Koskei
Head of the Public Service Felix Koskei has reminded appointing authorities not to extend terms of service for public officers beyond the retirement age. Koskei stated that the mandatory retirement age for employees is a crucial factor in maintaining the integrity of the public service. This ruling aligns with the Public Service Commission Act designed to ensure that all officers follow human resource policies and procedures. Research scientists and personnel in public universities must observe this directive, aiming to encourage job turnover and opportunities for younger talent. The compliance of these measures can significantly influence governance and public service effectiveness.
