Kenya's Head of Public Service, Felix Koskei, has ordered all government ministries, departments, and agencies to enforce sanctions on underperforming public servants to boost efficiency. This directive, issued last Wednesday, marks the immediate implementation of a new framework designed to enhance accountability within the public sector.

• The new framework, called the Matrix of Legal Consequences for Infractions, outlines specific disciplinary actions for misconduct and poor performance.
• Felix Koskei, who is also the Chief of Staff in the Presidency, emphasized that disregard of lawful instructions and repeated failure to meet performance targets will trigger structured interventions or sanctions.
• All ministries, departments, and agencies are required to cascade the framework internally and submit compliance reports within twenty-one days.
