The President is working day and night to ensure the welfare of all public servants is well taken care of in terms of salaries, allowances, and working conditions,\u201d said CS Ruku.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He emphasised that fairness in remuneration is not just a moral obligation but a constitutional one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-disparities\">Disparities <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>He pointed out the current discrepancies where public servants with similar qualifications and responsibilities earn vastly different salaries depending on their department or agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere is no reason as to why, for instance, an officer in the Ministry of Agriculture and another in a state agency such as KenGen should be paid differently if they hold similar qualifications and responsibilities. The principle of equity must be upheld,\u201d Ruku stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ruku described the Kenya Civil Service as the best on the continent and expressed confidence that, despite existing challenges, ongoing reforms would transform it into an efficient and fully empowered workforce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe want to employ the civil service to its capacity and ensure it works optimally,\u201d he said, urging all civil servants to uphold diligence, integrity, and decorum in the execution of their duties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-welfare\">Welfare <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to salary reforms, the Cabinet Secretary addressed other key welfare issues, notably medical insurance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He confirmed that the government had remitted Sh4.1 billion to the Social Health Authority two months ago to support the civil servants\u2019 health insurance scheme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe want every civil servant to walk into any health facility and receive medical care without frustration. That\u2019s our commitment,\u201d said Ruku, adding that his ministry remains in continuous engagement with the Ministry of Health and the Social Health Authority to ensure seamless access to healthcare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ruku also highlighted the government&#8217;s commitment to reviewing all existing Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBAs) to identify gaps and fast-track their implementation in a bid to enhance the welfare of civil servants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He stressed the importance of personal responsibility and accountability in the public service, noting that improved working conditions must be matched with ethical conduct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe must be responsible for our actions and ensure integrity in everything we do. As the government works to improve your welfare, you must also uphold ethical standards,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The conference brought together delegates from across the country to discuss public service reforms, workers\u2019 welfare, and the future of Kenya\u2019s civil service. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The salary harmonisation initiative is expected to be a landmark step in motivating the workforce and ensuring justice in public remuneration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Public Service Cabinet Secretary Geoffrey Ruku announced the formation of a task force to spearhead the salary harmonisation agenda.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12320,"featured_media":509267,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4625,26],"tags":[1981,20867,4450,27630,27629],"coauthors":[407],"class_list":["post-782528","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-national-news","category-top-stories","tag-featured","tag-geoffrey-ruku","tag-public-service","tag-public-service-pay-disparities","tag-public-service-salaries"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.7.1 (Yoast SEO v27.5) -
