President William Ruto's administration, through the Public Service Commission (PSC), plans a mass transfer of public servants to streamline employment and eliminate bias, as outlined in the draft Affirmative Action Regulations of 2025.

• The regulations aim to address representation gaps in gender, ethnicity, and disability across all government entities, ensuring compliance with constitutional requirements for inclusivity.
• PSC Chairperson Anthony Muchiri stated the process would protect employees' terms, conditions, and accrued retirement benefits unless the Commission identifies staff for redistribution on its own motion.
• Current assessments show only a small fraction of public institutions meet the 5% target for persons with disabilities (PWDs), and ethnic dominance in county-level staffing persists, undermining national diversity goals.
