The Kenyan government is set to introduce tough new enforcement measures targeting all public servants to improve service delivery under President William Ruto's administration. This crackdown follows strong disappointment expressed by Head of Public Service, Felix Koskei, regarding persistent malpractice and non-performance within the public sector.

• Felix Koskei noted a culture of abject impunity and inaction by heads of institutions and parastatals against underperforming employees.
• The new measures will focus on cultivating proper work ethics, prompt corrective action, and consistent application of lawful consequences for infractions.
• An urgent virtual meeting has been convened with Principal Secretaries, Chief Executive Officers of State Corporations, and Unincorporated Agencies to deliberate on these immediate actions.
