The recruitment process aligns with Kenya’s Vision 2030 goals, reinforcing the importance of integrity, transparency, and professionalism in public service leadership.
As the country awaits the outcome, the PSC continues to emphasize the critical role of the SRC in ensuring fair and equitable remuneration for public officers, a key component in promoting efficiency and accountability within the public sector.
