The Public Service Commission has announced 106 government job vacancies despite declaring that it has stopped the recruitment of public servants.
Former Treasury Cabinet Secretary Njuguna Ndung’u had announced that the government will stop employment in the public service in the current financial year so as to control the country’s rising waging bill.
The CS said that during the employment suspension, the government will then conduct an audit to sanitize the public payrolls and also eliminate ghost workers.
The new vacancies are scattered among 10 state departments and ministries, including lands and physical planning, forestry, blue economy and fisheries, mining, transport, cooperatives, labor and skill development, gender affirmative action, youth affairs and creative economy, and sports.
