The Kenyan government is set to introduce a new mobile application for civil servants, aiming to combat the issue of ghost workers and improve attendance. This initiative, led by Public Service Cabinet Secretary Geoffrey Ruku, will require all government employees to install the app on their phones for salary payments and attendance tracking.

• The new app will reinforce an existing payment system already in use by all workers.
• Ministry of Public Service is collaborating with a local telecommunications company to develop the app.
• This announcement follows a previous statement by Ruku on Tuesday, July 15, about introducing attendance registers in all government offices.
