The Kenyan government is expanding public service internship opportunities and implementing hardship allowances for civil servants. These initiatives aim to address unemployment and recognize the challenges faced by public officers in difficult areas.

• The number of public service internships will increase from 8,000 to 30,000.
• Key figures involved include Public Service Principal Secretary Jane Imbunya and the Public Service Commission.
• Hardship allowances are being allocated and await formal approval and gazettement to compensate officers in remote, insecure, and amenity-lacking areas.
